Membership dues are $25 for individuals per year or $40 for a family.

The Guild also welcomes patrons and businesses to donate time and money to help off set the cost of publications and prize money for shows.

History:

The Art Guild of Person County became a reality in 1995 after a handful of determined artists and patrons began working together to exchange ideas about ways to promote art in the Roxboro community. From its inception, members used some of their own funds and resources along with grants to purchase the appropriate tools and to fund projects to carry out the mission of promoting the visual arts in Person County.

There are many components that make up a successful art guild offering a variety of artwork in mediums such as pottery, wood, sculpture, oil painting, acrylics, watercolor, pencil, colored pencil, photography, and computer art. This diversity exists in the Art Guild of Person County.

The Guild partners with Piedmont Community College, area schools, and others to present art demonstrations and workshops to educate interested people on a particular specialty, and to display their craft. An annual contest called “Artfest” held in May for members and non-members finds many local and regional artisans competing for “Best in Show” and 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd places in 4 categories.
