Welcome to the Cabarrus Art Guild
The mission of the Cabarrus Art Guild is to bring together artists and art enthusiasts from Cabarrus and surrounding counties for art education, to share information about art, and exposure to original works of art. We do this through our various programs, events, talks and classes. Our various programs are open to all, whether you are an amateur or professional, if you dabble or sell your work. We welcome you to join the Cabarrus Art Guild and share in our common interests and the wonder of creativity.

Volunteering at the Cabarrus Art Guild
Your Cabarrus Art Guild has been moving forward in so many ways and the future looks very bright. Fortunately, 10 of your fellow members have made a very serious commitment to make this possible. We recently added several new committees with excellent chairpersons. They are Membership, Scholarship, Plein Air, Community Outreach and an expanded Education Program.
Fortunately, our membership is growing, but that means we need volunteers to serve on our committees. Our newest members can offer their fresh new ideas and those who have been around for a while can share their insight based on what has and has not worked in the past.
Not only can you make a difference regarding the future of the Guild, but you will also have an opportunity to makes new friends who are like minded. Committees conduct their business on Zoom, so no need to leave the comfort of your home. It’s easy and quite frankly, it can be a lot of fun. Please consider being a voice and positive force in your guild and in your community.
Please check out our opportunities to volunteer and work with the Cabarrus Art Guild here.
Sincerely,
Carol Vuchnich,
