The Aiken Artist Guild is a vibrant, dedicated group of artists and patrons! We are committed to improving our work in various media, supporting the interests of our fellow artists and demonstrating the unique gifts of our imagination and talents in scheduled exhibits.

Founded in 1967, the Aiken Artist Guild has a proud history of workshops, critiques, exhibitions and joyful sharing of ideas and encouragement. Our juried shows are impressive; our casual critiques support developing talent; our meetings offer exciting demonstrations, new product awareness, gallery information, and exposure to new media.

Join us now to meet other artists, share the journey of self improvement and discovery, and have fun! Now a nonprofit organization, the guild meets the second Monday of each month September through May.  Visit our website to find details about the programs, meeting place and time. The web site also allows you to become a member using on-line payment. 

AAG inspires, encourages, supports and exhibits.

INSPIRE:
We are inspired by the talent, hard work, and dedication of members who show their work in a wide variety of AAG-sponsored, state and regional shows. Member awards are publicized in local media by the guild and applauded by AAG peers. The contagious energy generated by upcoming shows is a powerful inspiration!

ENCOURAGE:
Mentors and peers offer their artistic perspectives in casual monthly critiques. Members are encouraged to participate in guild sponsored educational events and to network with other artists and art organizations.

SUPPORT:
Our Board of Directors, volunteers elected for two-year terms, work year-round to plan valuable guild activities. We welcome new members and provide them with rewarding volunteer opportunities.  AAG is dedicated to providing member benefits and reaching out to the community.

EXHIBIT:
Our members participate in regional and national shows, gathering an abundance of awards! The AAG's Annual Member Show is one of highlights of our year. The guild works with community businesses and organizations to provide ongoing exhibit space for member artists. Currently, the guild is assisting in sponsoring the Aiken Horses and Courses Art Walk scheduled during the Augusta National Golf Tournament week.
