It strives to provide enrichment and artistic education for its members as well as the community at large, and thus encourage a deepening apprecia- tion, understanding, and love of art among the citizens of Spartanburg and surrounding counties. The Guild strives to help its mem- bers learn to compete more effectively by having an annual juried exhibition for active guild members, by encouraging members to enter outside juried competitions, by providing programs and workshops that give the kind of technical and creative insights that help artists improve their work, and by serving as both a community that strengthens personal ties and a forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences for its members.
