President's Message
Hello Guild Members,
The Guild of Charlotte Artists is going strong and we have some great exhibitions and events to look forward to over the next few months. Please see the calendar of events.
Our Myers Park United Methodist Church Exhibition opens on April 1, 2025, with an opening event from 7pm to 8pm.
The next big show will be at the Mint Museum, Uptown, with an opening reception on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, 6-9 pm. The Mint is open to the public with free admission that evening. The "Guilding the Mint" exhibition will be on the fifth floor of the Museum in the "Mint5Space".
I want to recognize our Exhibitions Committee Chairs, Susan Moore and Doris Barahona, for the stellar work they do in managing our shows this year.
Finally, speaking of our shows and events, mark your calendars for the return of the Pop-Up Market under the big tent on the front lawn of the Mint Museum, Randolph Road, in September 2025.
Thank you all for your support and creativity.
All best,
Mikel Frank
President of the Board of the Guild of Charlotte Artist

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.
