Mission: The Artists' Guild of Columbia County provides opportunities for artists to exchange creative ideas and business information, to show and sell their work, and to increase their knowledge through workshops. We promote the visual arts, sponsor exhibits and offer projects of interest to artists and those interested in the arts.

Geographic areas served: Columbia County and the greater Augusta area

Programs: Art After Dark: Our annual Art show offers the community the opportunity to enjoy the artwork of a wide array of artists. This year we displayed the work of 42 artists and enjoyed performances by several local groups including the Columbia County Choral Society, Members of the Columbia County Civic Orchestra, and the Da Capo Chamber Players. Our artists provide artwork for several local venues. MCG HEaling Arts program: Our artists display artwork at the Medical College of Georgia throughout the year in an effort to enhance the hallways of the hospital for both patients and staff. In addition Guild artists work with hospitalized children to create artwork for the hospital. The Guild offers $1,000 in scholarhips annually to help local high school graduates pursing a degree in art. Members collaborate to participate in community art shows throughout the year.
