The Southern Applachian Artist Guild has grown rapidly from 25 founding members in the summer of 2007 to over 130 members today.
The Guild helps members GROW by providing interesting and educational quarterly meetings, educational events targeted at professional development and participation with the Blue Ridge Mountains Arts Association 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 National Juried Show. Plein Aire 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.
