Announcing Our Newest Gild - Arts and Crafts
The Arden Club has long been the cultural hub for the Ardens and surrounding areas, offering vibrant programming in music, theater, literature, and more. However, until now, one essential aspect of culture—visual arts—was missing. Considering the Ardens were founded on the principles of William Morris’s Arts and Crafts Movement, this omission was a glaring oversight.
That changes now. We are thrilled to announce the formation of The Arts & Crafts Gild!
But to make this dream a reality, we need you! Join us for the launch celebration
of this exciting new gild:
When: Wednesday, February 19, 2025, from 7:00–9:00 PM
Where: Lower Gild Hall
At the celebration, we’ll brainstorm ideas for programming, explore how the gild can serve the community, and discuss how you can get involved. Whether you’re an artist, craftsperson, or simply an admirer of the arts, we welcome your input and enthusiasm.
The Arts & Crafts Gild is being led by Megan King, Jeanne Orr, and Jill Althouse- Wood, and we are looking for others to join the leadership team. If you’re interested in helping shape this exciting new chapter for the Arden Club, we’d love to hear from you! We can’t wait to see what we’ll create together—see you there!

Seated jazz harp concert by a young master of the instrument with her trio at our wonderful Gild Hall!

Collaborating with artists such as Beyonce, John Legend, Lauryn Hill, and more, she demonstrates her ability to seamlessly inject the harp into arrangements and venues where it has historically been overlooked.
