NGAG Booth at Butlers
NGAG is a “virtual” organization without a brick and mortar location. We rent space in Butler’s Gallery (Booth #6) for members to show and sell their work. The exhibit rotates quarterly and features 3-4 members’ work, both 2D and 3D. The artists exhibiting each month and photos of their work are shown in the monthly GML ad and the NGAG newsletter.

Theme "Detours"
At the October meeting of North Georgia Arts Guild, the members participated in our second Show and Tell Event of the year. This program affords all members an opportunity to share their work with the membership and tell a little about the inspiration that brought it to fruition. Nineteen artisans met the challenge to create a piece using the subject of Detours. It was interesting to see the various interpretations and mediums that the artists presented. The renditions represented various art forms. To name just a few: textiles, metal works, painting, pottery, polymer clay, jewelry, multi-media collages, and more. The program was thoroughly enjoyed and we look forward to our next Show and Tell Event in February 2025.

Scholarships
The Guild’s long-time goal was realized in 2015 with the establishment of the NGAG Art Scholarship Program. Through it, we provide educational financial assistance to artistically talented graduating high school seniors. The first scholarships were awarded to four outstanding students in 2016. The program continues to benefit students through funding from the annual fundraiser, Sassafras Artisan Market, our generous sponsors, and individual donations.
To date, 29 scholarships, each $1000 have been awarded to graduates from four area high schools:
Rabun County High School, Rabun Gap Nacoochee School, Habersham Central High School, and Tallulah Falls School.
