South County Art Association, also known as SCAA, is a non-profit arts organization and art gallery located in South Kingstown, Rhode Island.

The association was founded in Wickford, Rhode Island in 1928 by a group of painters. One of their first projects was to gather a committee to preserve the Gilbert Stuart Birthplace. In 1944, the Association was given the Helme House, in South Kingstown, which became its headquarters and art gallery.

The Association manages programs for the community, including classes in various mediums; its annual Mary Anne Carey (MAC) sale of art, which benefits the Association's pottery program; exhibits featuring artists from Rhode Island; a membership program of over 360 people; and events based around the arts. The Association also offers its gallery space for rental.
