The CAG Welcomes new Board Members!
|
The Cabarrus Art Guild is happy to announce that we have welcomed new board members in September as well as having some transition to new roles.
Gayathiri Selva, (upper) CAG member and local artist/teacher has accepted the role of Community Outreach Chair. In her new role, Gayathiri will help create new opportunities for expanding the reach of our message and to ensure the success of our mission in our local communities. Lynn Cavanaugh, (lower), is a CAG member with an extensive background in the arts. She is taking over Education Chair from Donna Miller (your many years of service is greatly appreciated, Donna!) and already has many fun ideas working. Donna Miller, long-time CAG member, is transitioning from Education Chair to Membership Chair. This responsibility is so underrated in its importance to a Guild. We are so excited for this new era. Susan Lackey, former CAG President, has graciously accepted the role of Grant Chair. Susan's experience and qualifications make her the perfect person for this daunting task. A non-profit organization depends greatly upon the Grants that are available, and we deeply appreciate her formally taking over the mantle. A sincere thank you to our new and newer chairs for volunteering your time and efforts. We are so excited for the successes that are surely in store for us and the community. |
New Art Installation at Atrium Health, Concord
The Cabarrus Art Guild is a resident artist group at the ClearWater Arts Center and Studios in Concord.
Several of the resident artists at Clearwater were invited to participate in an art installation benefiting the staff and visitors at the Atrium Health Cabarrus Hospital facility in Concord.
Marjel Jones, Donna Miller, O'Lynda Walker, Carol Vuchnich and Debra Joyce have had some of their work put on display at the hospital representing the Guild.
The cases are located near the employee entrance and we are thrilled at the positive feedback received so far.
Art has the power to heal or to even just create a much- needed smile.

Announcing the Holt Art Scholarship Recipient, 2022!
Since 1996, the Cabarrus Art Guild (CAG) have been the proud administrators of the Holt Art Scholarship. This scholarship, named for Mrs. Margaret Holt, was created to assist Cabarrus County students with their tuition costs in their continuing art education. Holt, an avid supporter of the arts, wanted to offer students financial support to make it possible, for people pursuing any art, to realize their dreams. For the post-secondary education of artists in the fields of historical, architectural, landscape, painting, sculpture, interior or textile design, and similar type of artwork, this scholarship offers tuition relief for many different scholastic pursuits.
This year’s award-winner, from Hickory Ridge High School, Harrisburg NC, is (Erin) Nhi Nguyen, a graduating Senior this June 2022. Nhi plans to study Concept Design at the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming year. The $2,000 award was presented by Charlotte Doyle, CAG’s long time Scholarship Chair, at the graduation ceremony held on June 1st.
Congratulations Nhi! We wish you continuing success in your artistic endeavors. And a special and sincere thank you to Charlotte Doyle, who has donated an extraordinary amount of time and effort these many years to ensure the program’s success.
