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.

Presentation
Cindy Sanders
Cindy made a great presentation to NGAG members and guests at our October 16 meeting. Having been an art teacher in the school system in Florida for many years, Cindy retired in 2022. Finally having the time to do her own artwork, she started working in acrylic painting when she retired. She has perfected a style of her own that reflects her love for vivid colors and landscapes. She talked about how she achieves the vividness in her beautiful paintings by painting an undercoat in a bright color. During the presentation, Cindy showed and talked about several of her paintings.

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.
Congratulations 2025 Scholarship Recipients
This years selectees represent the ideals of our organization. Not only do they have remarkable past achievements but exciting future plans.
