The Arts & Crafts Gild has had a colorful first half of 2026! Together, we explored still life painting, found calm through art therapy, hand-built and decorated flower pots, discovered the joy of illustrated journals, moved past our fear of watercolor, and created a community flower shadow art project.

Up next: we’re launching a Quarterly Sketch Club! Meet us for our first gathering Wednesday, August 26 at 7 p.m. This will be held outside near the Gild Hall. Bring your favorite supplies and sign up by emailing us at artsandcraftsgild@gmail.com. Yes, it's free!

Love face painting? We’re also looking for volunteers for the Arden Fair. Email us if you’d like to help bring smiles to the community!
