Join
The Clintonville Arts Guild (CAG) was established in 1972 to promote the creation and enjoyment of art in central Ohio.
MEMBERSHIP is open to anyone interested in the visual arts. It is not restricted to Clintonville residents and one need not be an artist to join.
CAG provides encouragement and support to its members and fosters a friendly exchange of information. Competition among members is de-emphasized.
Monthly meetings offer programs in the business side of art, art history, and how-to techniques. Members are free to share works in progress. Periodic group outings allow members to tour studios, visit exhibitions, or sketch/paint in a variety of settings. CAG serves as a forum for getting one’s work before the public through a number of annual Guild shows.
