Welcome to the Lawrence Art Guild

The Lawrence Art Guild is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit public charity created to promote art awareness in Lawrence and surrounding areas. We support the creative growth of its members and area artists. Meetings are held on the third Monday evening of each month, 6:30p.m. to 9:00p.m., in the Lawrence Public Library auditorium at 707 Vermont Street. The first half hour of our meeting covers old and new business of the Lawrence Art Guild with the "Artists' Forum" beginning at 7:00 pm.


Guest Speakers Some of the meetings will feature speakers on subjects of interest to members, such as photographing art work, the artist and taxes, business issues in art, as well as art slide presentations. Other meeting forums provide opportunities for members to bring their own work for critique and to view and discuss others' work. A social period follows each meeting. All meetings are open to the public.


Shows and Events Throughout the year various shows and events are sponsored by the Guild which provide opportunities for artists to show and sell their work. Art in the Park is a juried show open to all, held on the first Sunday in May in South Park, with more than 100 local and regional artists selling their work. The event also features food vendors, children's activities and live music. The Holiday Art Fair, another screened event, is held the first Saturday of December at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire. This event features 40 to 50 artists, live music and an evening reception. The Lawrence Art Guild also schedules an All Members Show at the Lawrence Arts Center in February and other All Members Shows at the Lawrence Public Library. These are non-juried selling opportunities exclusively for Lawrence Art Guild members.
