Guild of Charlotte Artists
President's Message
Hello Fantastic Members,
There are some new items and activities to announce this month. But first, let me say how much we at the Guild of Charlotte Artists appreciate you, there I've said it. Without you, we would not have the motivation and energy it takes to make the Guild one of the most exciting arts organizations in Charlotte.
We asked you recently to fill out a survey and you rose to the occasion with some very helpful and interesting responses. The results will be forthcoming in a future newsletter.
The reason we asked for your input was to establish a modernized strategic plan, which will prove to be a benefit to all members.
We also asked you if you would like to volunteer with us to make the GCA run more efficiently and many of you stepped up. In fact, as a result, we now have a volunteer page on our website. You can access it here.
Also, on our website, you will be able to submit to the Online Holiday Gift Art Show here.
Our own John Komisin will spearhead a new project to form small groups of members who will get together and talk art, see art, and make art.
One more exciting project is the redesign of our GCA logo. We are looking for experienced logo designers and it will be a paid project. See below for details.
That is all for now, enjoy the rest of the newsletter, which is filled with interesting stuff.
Thank you,
Mikel Frank
President,
Guild of Charlotte Artists
Generations of Exceptional
Creativity
Welcome to the Guild of Charlotte Artists! Our non-profit organization has been around since 1948, offering camaraderie, education, and opportunities for our members. We are artists in the Charlotte area who enjoy networking with other artists, learning new techniques, and showing our work in competitive venues. We feel that art joins us together, without regard for differences in race, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, or gender.
We offer monthly meetings with guest speakers, an informative newsletter, shows, and exhibitions.
Our current members work in watercolor, oils, pastels, acrylic, sculpture, photography, digital, and mixed media.
If you are creative, you are welcome!
Member Shows
Throughout the year, the Guild sponsors judged art shows for its members in the Charlotte area. These shows allow artists to display their latest creations and compete for ribbons and awards. They also provide a venue for the public to view, appreciate, and purchase art from the talented local visual artist community. At least two shows are held each year, one in the Spring and one in the Fall.
Programs
Our monthly events, programs, and workshops offer a mix of educational and inspirational topics, demos, as well as marketing and business information.
