What are the Benefits of joining the Guild?
The North Grenville Arts Guild was begun in order to “promote Art in the community.” To do this we try to get our members to get together to talk about their projects, to encourage each other, and to simply be creative in this community. The Guild tries to find ways to show our Member’s work by organizing Venues within local businesses, and by holding Art Shows, large and small, in our community.

We also hold a small “show-and-tell” at our monthly meeting to encourage Members who may be hesitant to show their work in a public space.

We send out a Monthly Newsletter to our Members so everyone will know what the Guild is doing, or attempting to do.

When possible, we hold gatherings and workshops and demos for our Members, some free, some for a fee.

Generally the benefit of belonging to a Guild is the possibility of connecting with other Artists using many different mediums and approaches. A Guild offers Community.

How much does a Membership cost?
The cost for a yearly Membership is $30. The year runs from September 1 to August 31.

What is the Venues Program and what is expected of participants?
The Venues Program is a partnership with several Kemptville businesses who have agreed to provide our members with hanging space on their walls. They do not take a percentage of any sale that may occur through this program. The Guild has Venue Coordinators who liaise with the businesses to agree on pick-up and hanging times every few months.

We require that participating Members sign an agreement with our Guild to respect the rules set out by this program. The agreement simply states that each Member will follow the timeline of the program, be flexible about pick-up and hanging times, work with each Coordinator to get their art placed or picked up, and not make private arrangements with the business or other Members that might disrupt the flow of the program.

Do you offer an on-line gallery on your website?
No, we do not. We include links to our members website or social media on Our artists page and we encourage our members to post work on the guild Facebook page and to establish their own Web presence.

Do you have grids that I can rent?
Grids may be rented to groups or organizations for their events. We will schedule one pick up and drop off per group or organization event. Grids are rented for $2 a day with a $200 minimum rental. Send your inquiry to northgrenvilleartsguild@gmail.com.

How can I find out who else is a Member of the NGAG?
Some Guild members choose not to have their names displayed on our Our artists page. Those who wish to be featured may include their name, medium, and an optional external link. You can also discover many of our artists through our posts on Facebook and Instagram. Or, as a member, you can attend our on-line monthly meetings, or participate in our Venues Program, and any Shows or activities we may hold.
