History
The Artists’ Guild of Spartanburg was founded in 1957 by a
core of 16 local artists, in order to support one another in their artistic
endeavors. Several charter members are
still active in the Guild. Early in the
Guild’s history, members had to be juried in on the basis of their work. Although
juried exhibitions are still part of
who we are, in more recent years, membership has been opened to artists of many
skill levels and to other individuals interested in supporting the visual
arts.
The Guild was incorporated as a non-profit organization in
1960, and became a funded organization of The Arts Partnership of Greater
Spartanburg in 1995.
With membership no open to residents of any county adjacent
to Spartanburg County, the Guild enjoys strong representation in North
Carolina, Greenville, and a variety of other counties.
The Guild’s 50
th anniversary coincides with the
opening of the new Chapman Cultural Center in downtown Spartanburg.
