The purpose of the Creative Artists’ Guild is to bring together artists to share experiences, expertise and provide for the exchange of artistic ideas and information. The group was founded in 1970 as the Dunedin Art Guild and evolved to the Creative Artists’ Guild in 1978. Since then, it has remained one of the area’s most active fine arts organizations.
Membership is open to all those interested in fine arts, attending meetings, and participating in the many other activities of the Guild. The membership represents a progressive group of artists and their supporters who share a mutual interest and encourage public awareness in the art field.
The Guild provides a meeting place where educational programs are offered. Guild members may also participate in exhibits of their work in private and public business venues, galleries, shows and festivals.
The Guild holds monthly meetings September through April on the Second Tuesday of the mon
th at 1:00 pm at the First United Methodist Church’s Friendship Hall. November through April they stage Art in the Park on the second Sunday of the month in Pioneer Park, showcasing the work of their members. There will be a Summer Pop-Up Art Show and Sale on July 1st.
