ART GUILD

What is the EAG Organization all about?

The Effingham Art Guild is an organization that is separate, but affiliated with Fine Arts County Effingham (F.A.C.E.). Membership is open to anyone who appreciates art. Most of our members have some degree of artistic skill but it is not a requirement for membership.

Members share their artwork, their enthusiasm and their love for creating and enjoying art. The love for art combined with the need to create is the foundation for this talented organization
