About The Elmore County Art Guild
The concept of forming the Elmore County Art Guild began as an idea discussed by several Elmore County artists. The first organizational meeting was held in Wetumpka on January 26, 1985, at the home of Jo Glenn a former mayor of Wetumpka. Founding members include: Doris Bell, Duane Bratton, Martha Connell, Eula Dickson, Barbara Fitzgerald, Jo Glenn, Judy Lea Graves, Ora Kniskern, Margaret Knox, Reba Matthews, Betty Meadows, Ann Morrow, Frances Spence, and Mildred Trotter.
Today, the membership is made up of approximately 80 diverse individuals with varying backgrounds and interest. Regular meetings, which include educational programs, are held on a monthly basis with the exception of June, July, and August. The primary objective of the Guild is to advance and promote the appreciation, enjoyment and exhibition of the visual arts, for the mutual improvement, cultural benefit, and social enlightenment of Guild members and the public at large.
In addition to organizing annual adjudicated exhibitions, the Guild maintains regular ongoing exhibits at the Wetumpka Depot Players theater, the Wetumpka Public Library, and the Wetumpka City Hall. The Guild’s signature exhibition is the Annual Guild Show is typically held in February of each year at the Wetumpka City Hall located at 408 South Main Street in Wetumpka. The Guild also sponsors several community outreach projects.
The Elmore County Art Guild maintains a strict policy against PLAGIARISM and COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.
