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.
SAINTE GENEVIEVE ART CENTER & ART MUSEUM
The facility at 310 Merchant Street, on the courthouse square in downtown Ste. Genevieve features an exhibit of local art history which accompanies a display of Guild members' art that includes paintings, ceramics, fiber art, wood sculptures, small giftable items and greeting cards. Workshops for children, teens and adults are offered throughout the year. Our ability to provide community programs and operate an Art Center depends on volunteers who donate their time and patrons and foundations who contribute to our non-profit organization's mission.
