Hello,
We are a group of mostly amateurs trying to study on photography, painting and music. Most of our members live in Adapazari City, Sakarya in Turkey. SAGUSAD means that Sakarya Fine Arts Organisation (In Turkish, the initial letters of words Sakarya Guzel Sanatlar Dernegi) SAGUSAD is a nonprofit organisation. We have more than fifty members now and our members are increasing in number.
SAGUSAD founded by seven professional or amateur artists in 1994. The initial purpose of the organisation was to support financially Sakarya Fine Arts Gallery, founded by Culture Ministry of Turkey. SAGUSAD members used to perform art exhibitions and give art education in this art gallery. Five years after the foundation of the organisation, the great Marmara Eartquake destroyed the gallery in 1999. After the shocking effect of the earthquake, SAGUSAD members have continued to gather and study art at different places. We are using a office near the center of Adapazari city nowadays.

SAGUSAD members are experienced mostly in photography and painting and some of our members study music. Some of our members won national and international prizes of their art branch. SAGUSAD is the first and only photography organisation in Adapazari City, but there are numerous organisations for painting and music in the city. SAGUSAD is the leading art organisation in Adapazari City and has the largest number of members.
Our localisation is in the center of Adapazari City. You can see address, telephone and fax number and the sketch of our localisation in "Contact Info And Address" page. Our organisation uses two floors of the building, one for general use and the other for our painting studio.
We make a photo trip once a month. We also give art education especially for photography and painting. We present many slideshows and art exhibitions every year. Many of the art lovers in our art courses became members of SAGUSAD. We welcome all kind of people who want to study art and attend to our activities.
