Throughout the year the Guild features a member as the Artist of the Month. The artist showcases their work in their own exhibit in part of our Gallery.

14th Annual Adult Student Art Exhibit

 The Fredericksburg Art Guild will sponsor the 14th Annual Adult Student Art Exhibit during the month of February.  A reception will be held at the Guild on Friday February 7, during First Friday Art Walk, to honor the Guild’s adult students and their teachers. The reception will be held from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. Complimentary refreshments will be available at the reception.

Students eligible to participate must have taken a class at the Guild in the past year from Guild artists and teachers Nan Henke and/or Truby Hardin. Established in 2009, the goals of the art exhibit are to encourage budding artists, to honor their teachers, to demonstrate student growth over the past year, to teach students how to participate in a formal show.

The show will be available to view from Thursday, February 6 until Sunday, March 2.  Visitor’s to the Guild during the show’s run will have the opportunity to cast their vote for the People’s Choice Award winner from the students’ works on display.  A cash prize to the People’s Choice Award winner will be given at the conclusion of the exhibit to assist the student winner’s future artistic endeavors. 
The students’ work as well as all hanging art in the Gallery will be on sale during the show, with the Fredericksburg Art Guild receiving a 25% commission for any works sold.  Admission to the Art Guild is free.
