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:
Holiday Christmas Show December 7-8; Preview Friday 4-8pm:
The Sainte Genevieve Art Center and Art Museum at 310 Merchant welcomes everyone for a look inside from 4-8pm Friday Dec 6, 10am-6pm Saturday Dec 7 and 10am-4pm on Sunday. “This year’s annual show is very special because we’re in our own space”, said Juanita Wyman, co-chair for the event. “While this is the 33rd time the Guild has participated in the County’s Holiday Christmas Festival, each year it gets better”. Co-chair Vicki Cummings noted that "We've been working very hard and are very excited about this beautiful show. We have lots of talented people. Art work by 25 guild members in various sizes and styles will be available for sale. We're hoping people will come in to buy original art as Christmas presents. There will be paintings, prints, cards, pottery, boxes and leather work."
While the Guild membership has grown in size and diversity, some things have remained the same - such as the Silent Auction that supports an annual High School Scholarship of $500 named after Guild founder Bette Geraghty, and prizes in the annual High School Art Show held each spring.
The “Meet the Artist” reception is also the same, Saturday from 4-6pm, with refreshments and music by local band Academy Hill. You can support Art Guild programs by buying a raffle ticket to win a beautiful watercolor by member Cloice Lindwedel for just $1. Tickets are available from any Guild member or at the Art Center during the Show. Increase your chances and get 6 for $5.
CAPE GIRARDEAU EXHIBIT CLOSES NOVEMBER 30:
Art work by two dozen Guild members is currently 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.
