Supporting the Visual Arts is a central part of the Guild's mission. Whether the discipline is painting, pottery or pencil sketches, the Guild wants to offer not only the educational opportunities for artists to improve their skills, but also places to exhibit and sell their work. Why Art? "The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance." Aristotl
