The Guild is a non-profit organization founded in 1948 by a group of civic minded citizens, artists and crafters, dedicated to the public interest and education in the arts and crafts field.  The guild has flourished and become an integral part of the local community. The Guild offers for sale all kinds of original art and handmade crafts by local artisans - everything from small gift items to paintings for the most discriminating art lover. New items arrive daily and original paintings are changed periodically.

THE GUILD SPONSORS LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDING FRIENDS UNLIMITED, INC., S.A.V.E.S, SOUTHOLD AND CUTCHOGUE/NEW SUFFOLK HISTORICAL SOCIETIES,  AS WELL AS PROMOTING A YOUNG ARTIST CONTEST, PROVIDING ART AND CRAFTS INSTRUCTIONS, EXHIBITING INDIVIDUAL ARTISTS AND CRAFTERS AND LOCAL ANTIQUE BUSINESSES.  VOLUNTEERS WELCOME.

 As a non-profit organization, the Guild relies on donations and support from the community to help fund the activities and educational programs provided to all.  This is a completely volunteer organization, with no salaried positions, including the board members.  Gifts and Donations are welcome.

On May 16th, opening day, our Gallery featured some of the original works of world renowned portrait artist and writer Marcos Blahove - including the original oil painting, 'The Girl in the Blue Chair'  (1967) from the private collection of the Carter Family.

Gayle Carter Wagner (the actual girl in the blue chair) hosted a lecture regarding her childhood experiences with the artist. A book signing of Blahove's book, Painting Children in Oil followed (a limited number of copies are still available at the Guild).
As always the Guild features fine paintings and crafts by local artists. Please stop in and find out what is New at the Guild this year!
