Our PAST
The Pottstown Area Artists Guild was formed in 1960 with area artists Fred and Sarah Griesemer, Albert and Sylvia Sanft, Joseph F. Landis, Mildred Sands Kratz, and Dorla Dean Slider.
Their common vision was:
-
To allow people to express themselves collectively. This includes art as therapy, art as education, and art as individual expression.
​
-
To encourage art sales throughout the tri-county area.
​
-
To promote art education and art appreciation within the community.
Our PRESENT
The Pottstown Area Artists Guild strives to keep that focus alive with the following offerings:
​
-
Masters of Art Talks, Demos, and Workshops
-
TWO MAJOR ART EXHIBITIONS: Juried Fine Art Show in the spring, and Members' Show in the winter.
-
