The Franklin County Arts Guild is an organization of local artists and friends who are interested in promoting the visual and performing arts in Franklin County. The Guild works to promote and provide art education and awareness for all ages. The Franklin County Arts Guild also provides a scholarship for a promising high school senior planning to study art or art education at the university level.
The Franklin County Arts Guild actively promotes the arts within the community. The Guild, along with the Kiwanis Club, sponsors the annual Student Art Show. Local art teachers send their students’ best work to be judged. All the art is on display during the Dogwood Festival in May.
One of the FCAG’s most important projects is working with an after school program for at-risk middle schoolers. Once a month, Guild members teach classes in various arts. This program helps bring the arts to those who may otherwise have few art experiences.
Through its various activites and events the FCAG offers an opportunity to make new friends in the community and to share in the wealth of information and support afforded by its members. We are always open to new members and you don’t have to be an artist to join!
