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.

Presented by
Helen Rogers
Narrative Assemblage and the Art of Storytelling
“At the September meeting, NGAG members were treated to a presentation on the unique assemblage art of Helen Rogers. In addition to a display of several pieces of her work, Helen presented a very well organized and informative slideshow of her journey in mixed media art. Highlights of the presentation included examples of inspiration she has found in her travels as well as the meticulous process required to create her fantasy-like pieces. Emphasis was placed on the story-telling aspect of her work. Helen will be the featured NGAG artist in the December issue of the Georgia Mountain Laurel.”

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.
