A Proud and Exciting History
Since 1886, the St. Louis Artists’ Guild has been the regional center for artists and people who love art. Today the St. Louis Artists’ Guild is an extraordinary organization with 600+ members. It’s always been a significant contributor to the cultural environment of the greater St. Louis area. As a well-established network for all the artists in the metropolitan area, the Artists’ Guild is a center where artists can learn, share ideas, and test their talents among peers and professionals. For over a century, most professional artists in St. Louis achieved their first recognition through its competitive exhibitions.
