About The Cabarrus Art Guild
The Cabarrus Art Guild is an incorporated group of artists and art supporters who are dedicated to the advancement of the arts for educational and cultural enrichment. This is done with an emphasis on encouraging the creative process in a diverse population by providing opportunities for volunteering, exhibitions, public appreciation, and art education.
We welcome everyone into the Guild whether you are an accomplished or budding artist, you love to appreciate art or you’re just curious about creativity and the possibilities available.
The Art Guild was established in 1970, with seven Members. We are growing every year with a larger roster of Members eager to learn, and to teach, while enjoying each other’s company. We have hosted many well-known artists at our Free monthly demonstrations. We offer classes to members and non-members (non-members pay an increased fee) during the year, including painting with oil, watercolor, pastels, and acrylics. We have added more diversified classes that include new techniques, mediums, and experiences other than painting.
The Cabarrus Art Guild is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. We are completely run by volunteers. These volunteers donate their time, effort and passion to ensure that we are successful in our mission. Volunteers make possible the events and classes we all enjoy. They also work to provide back-office services that keep us operating. Volunteering for the Guild brings a certain satisfaction knowing you are helping your community while having some fun. Would you like to help us? See below for our current opportunities or contact us with questions.
As our Charter dictates, we serve Cabarrus and its bordering counties:
Cabarrus
Union
Stanly
Rowan
Iredell
Mecklenburg

Donate to the Cabarrus Art Guild
The Cabarrus Art Guild is a non-profit organization that has primarily been kept afloat through its yearly membership dues and annual grassroots grants given by the NC Arts Council. It serves not only Cabarrus County, but many of its surrounding counties as well. Additional funding from both private and commercial sources allows the Guild to expand its many programs. Some of these programs include the ability to offer more affordable classes and workshops, connecting with underserved communities, displaying both 2- and 3-dimensional work of area artists, offering free demonstrations of different artistic methods and even a weekly meeting place for artists to gather where they can share their work and get new ideas. Your donation will not only help the Guild continue with these endeavors, but also allow it to further expand its reach within our community.

This is a working, weekly meeting, each Tuesday, to work with and share with artists and like-minded people who appreciate creativity. Don’t have a project? Drop by to see what local artists are creating. Everyone is welcome to join.

Our policy is to leave the space as we found it, so please make sure to clean up after yourself and not leave any trash or messes.
That does it for the rules, now it's time for making art, meeting new friends and having fun.
See you soon!
