Origins and Organization

The Boulder City Art Guild traces its roots back more than forty years, beginning with a small group of friends who came together to paint and pursue their artistic interests.  By 1976, this informal collective decided to formally establish the Guild, creating rules and regulations and obtaining non-profit status from the State.  Thus, the Boulder City Art Guild, Inc. was formed, dedicated to the promotion of Fine Art.

Mission and Activities

The Guild champions Fine Art through a variety of initiatives, including:

• Hosting fine art shows and exhibitions
• Operating an Art Gallery
• Offering workshops and educational presentations on different aspects of fine art
• Providing scholarships for individuals to participate in art classes and workshops
• Awarding scholarships to high school graduates who plan to study fine art in college

The Guild Gallery

By 1995, the Guild had outgrown its original location and moved into the newly revitalized Boulder Dam Hotel at 1305 Arizona Street.  Here, the Guild reestablished its Art Gallery, which serves as a venue for members to display and sell their artwork.  The Gallery remains open seven days a week, with an artist always present during operating hours.
