Welcome

The Clinton County Art Guild was formed in October of 2006 as a means to fulfill a need for increased art and culture exposure in our Southwestern Illinois county. A group of artists, amateur to professional, have been brought together to share ideas, critiques, and a common love of art. Our organization is dedicated to furthering artistic understanding and fostering artistic growth of members and the community at large by promoting interest, education, knowledge, and skills in the visual arts.
