Guild of Charlotte Artists
President's Message
Hello Dear Members,
I hope you all attended and enjoyed our Pop-Up Market event at The Mint Museum’s Randolph Road location, under the big tent on this past Sunday. It was a grand team effort.
Also happening at the Mint Museum Randolph Road, are the much anticipated presentations for members happening on the fourth Wednesday evening of every month, during our season. Organized by Kathy Weiss, these presentations are a key advantage of membership in the GCA. See the “Upcoming Programs” in the menu of our website and you will see the amazing line up in store for you.
The Guild of Charlotte Artists has been hard at work making our community larger by expanding our membership. I want to congratulate our wonderful volunteer executive board, who work very hard at making the GCA an incredible organization. We have many new creatives signing up for what looks like a year filled with exhibitions, programs, special events, and other things still in the development phase.
Please remember to renew your membership today. I appreciate all who have joined or renewed. THANK YOU!
An important aspect of this month’s newsletter; we will be listing areas that we need volunteer help. We are asking members to consider what strengths and talents they can bring to the Guild committees. Members who are interested in helping out can contact a board member or myself. We would be thrilled to have you join one of our committees to help make the Guild a more member inclusive and successful art community.
All the best for an enjoyable fall. Happy Halloween!
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.
