Over forty years ago, six friends living in the sleepy little town of Aiken, South Carolina, decided to meet on a regular schedule to share their mutual love of Art. They yearned for a venue to display their work, the opportunity to learn more about various media, and to celebrate their energy and sense of wonder! The act of creating, the joy of the process, and the gratification of completion can only be more enhanced by sharing the final product with others.

Today, the Guild has stretched to over 130 members, features regularly scheduled meetings, juried shows, workshops and demonstrations. AAG has also funded several scholarships to deserving USC-Aiken students majoring in the fine arts honoring past and present guild members who have contributed so much to the Aiken Artist Guild.

Media represented, but not limited to, is: painting, pencil, pastel, sculpture, fabric art and photography. We welcome visitors and prospective members. We always need volunteers and new talent. Please come and grow with us!
