We are a non-profit organization dedicated to providing education, support and training in all aspects of the visual arts through exhibits, workshops, scholarships, seminars and practical experience in the creation of artistic works. The Guild serves as a charitable vehicle through which artists and members may associate with others of similar interests, offering support and encouragement for the development of their artistic talents. The Mountain Artists Gallery provides a place for emerging artists of all media to display and sell their work in a fine art gallery setting. Other benefits include learning such necessary skills as quality matting and framing and display and presentation of fine art and craftsmanship, in regularly changing exhibitions.
