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.

Annual Fall Judged Show going VIRTUAL

The Cabarrus Art Guild is proud to present the annual judged fall exhibit.
​
Due to circumstances beyond our control, we had to resort to a VIRTUAL show.

The art that was entered is exceptional and we are pleased to have had a great turnout by members and non-members alike.

The art will remain on the website until Spring of 2021 and can be enjoyed any time, day or night.
 
For more information about each creation, hover over the picture with your mouse or touch it if you are viewing on a phone.  There is also a complete list of the works below, sorted in the  order of the slideshow.  Most of the artwork is for sale, so if you are interested in purchasing, contact us using the blue "Contact The Guild" button at the bottom of this page.

Award selections by Bruce Chandler the Annual Fall Judged Show, 2020
Judge's Comments
"I felt that all of these paintings were very strong and it was very difficult to sort them into slots. They are all strong winners!
​
It has been an honor for me to be invited to select the awards for your annual exhibition.  I would certainly commend everyone for taking this step to venture into our different world.  I imagine that some things will go back to our old way of doing things but some things created by the pandemic may lead us to better ways of reaching farther.

Personally, I want to go to galleries and admire paintings on the wall, but then some might gain a use of the computer that we have not had before.  That may lead to other avenues.  An example would be losing the fear to sit at the computer and organize and enter shows that were before, considered out of reach."
