WHO ARE WE?
​
Established in 2008, the Alpha Arts Guild is a non-profit organization of members from the Alpharetta area who deeply appreciate art and who also make art.
The Guild perpetually enjoys welcoming new members.
The Guild members show their passion for art and making art through their participation in guild-only shows and other shows, member meetings, delivering lectures and workshops, as well as community art-related volunteerism. They believe in art’s tremendous power to enrich the community, as well as their own lives.
Led by President Barbara Rush, Guild members enjoy getting together monthly, whether it's for an official Guild meeting, or a fun social outing. Our group is all about building relationships in our community, and with our members, so that we can encourage and support each other. We love sharing opportunities, talking about art, exploring venues to show and sell our art, and of course we LOVE seeing what everyone is working on!
