About

History

SOFA arose out of a particular need in the art community at ACC. Though several student organizations were available for specific mediums, such as ceramics and sculpture, there was no place for students of different disciplines to come together for community and support. In the fall semester of 2022, faculty advisors Shawn Camp, Jonas Criscoe, and Nicole DiMucci organized the first meeting of what would become the Student Organization of Fine Arts. Since then, SOFA has grown into a thriving organization that provides a space for creatives of all kinds to find opportunities, support, and community.
