Guild of Charlotte Artists

President's Message

Dear Guild Members,

As you all know, the year 2024 is ending and will soon become a year of memories. And what memories we will have. I want you all to know how grateful the board of the Guild of Charlotte Artists is for your creative output and amazing support of our mission. We are in this together. As one of the preeminent non-profit art communities in Charlotte, together we can help shape the creative tenor of our collective vision for the future.

For the next few years, we will be undertaking a much-needed rebranding and updating of our mission. The survey that was sent out was the first step in gaining knowledge about what you, our membership, desires. Personally, I find this very exciting and will make it my mission to represent the membership to help facilitate the best strategy and face going forward for the Guild.

I know I speak for all the volunteer members of the Executive Board of the Guild of Charlotte Artists in wishing you a very joyous, prosperous and exciting 2025.

Your dedication and enthusiasm are the heart of our community, and we look forward to continuing our journey together in the new year. Thank you for being a vital part of our creative family.

Warm regards,

Mikel

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.
