Art Happens Here
Welcome to Sainte Genevieve Art Guild
The Sainte Genevieve Art Guild brings together artists and people who love art. The goal of the Guild is to promote creative expression, as well as maintain the history and legacy of the creative spirits who have lived and worked in this area before us. We welcome amateur and professional visual artists as well as those who consider themselves patrons of the arts. As a well-established network for artists, the Sainte Genevieve Art Guild provides a close-knit environment where artists can learn, share ideas and test their talents.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
CAPE GIRARDEAU EXHIBIT IN NOVEMBER:
The Sainte Genevieve Art Guild is taking its show on the road in November, with work by members featured in the main gallery at the Southeast Missouri Council of the Arts at 16 North Spanish Street in downtown Cape Girardeau. The variety of mediums and style reflects the diversity of the artists in the group. Paintings in oil, watercolor, pastel, acrylic, and ink range from realistic to impressionistic to abstract. Additional interest is created by dimensional works in copper, ceramic, wood and fiber. The show will open November 1 during Cape's First Friday Art Walk. The public is invited to a reception taking place from 5pm to 9pm that evening. The art will remain in place through the end of the month.
