We're so glad you found us!

The Southern Appalachian Artist Guild (the Guild) has grown rapidly from 25 founding members in the summer of 2007 to over 160 members today.

The Guild helps members GROW by providing interesting and educational monthly meetings, educational events targeted at professional development and participation with the Blue Ridge Mountains Arts Center in classes and workshops for beginning and developed artists. (See Class/ Workshop/Event Schedule.)

We help members SHOW by sponsoring shows open to members such as the Spring Member’s Show and the annual National Juried Show.  Plein Air Events, artist demonstrations in the park and business venues in Blue Ridge and other activities help promote artists and the arts in the region.

Members stay in the KNOW through notice of regional show and festival opportunities and networking with members and other regional associations.

Check our newsletter to see what’s happening.

Join our group today to participate in an expanding, excited enthusiastic group of artists in the tri-state Georgia, western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee area.

We look forward to meeting you!
