About Stonecube Art Association (SCAA)

Stonecube Art Association (SCAA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to empowering fine artists through critical resources, funding opportunities, and dynamic platforms for artistic growth. Headquartered in New York’s Hudson Valley, SCAA fosters a thriving creative community that values craftsmanship, visual integrity, and cultural dialogue.

Our mission is to reconnect fine art with its core principles while advancing new creative horizons. In an era where contemporary art often prioritizes conceptual trends and digital media, SCAA champions the enduring power of traditional media—painting, sculpture, and other visual forms—as essential tools for human expression and aesthetic innovation. We support artists who honor the craft while exploring bold new directions in form, material, and meaning.

In 2023, SCAA hosted a highly acclaimed solo exhibition for our founder, Stone Chun Shi, at 19 Howard Street in Manhattan. The project transformed an abandoned space into a vibrant cultural venue, illustrating our belief that art can revitalize spaces and communities.

In collaboration with the Overseas Artists Association, SCAA will present the upcoming Spring Heart · Original Intention – Fine Artists of America Special Exhibition in downtown Manhattan. This major exhibition brings together over twenty artists from the United States, offering a collective exploration of visual storytelling, identity, and the authentic spirit of fine art.

EDDY FARM

Stonecube Art Association, in collaboration with Eddy Farm Christian Retreat Center, will jointly establish the Eddy Farm Art Center in 2025. This innovative platform will integrate contemporary art, gospel music, and spiritual healing to glorify God’s creative beauty through the power of art. It will offer a sacred space where faith and aesthetics unite, welcoming believers and art enthusiasts worldwide to experience spiritual renewal and artistic inspiration.

As a significant spiritual retreat under the Christian organization Chinese Christian Herald Crusades (CCHC), Eddy Farm has long been dedicated to hosting retreats, spiritual formation, and mission-focused ministries. With the continued development and expansion of the retreat center, the establishment of the Eddy Farm Art Center will further enrich its spiritual mission and cultural depth. It aims to become an international landmark where gospel ministry, artistic exchange, contemplative retreat, and cultural exhibitions are harmoniously integrated—all for the glory of God and the advancement of His kingdom.
