Mission Statement
The Vegas Artists Guild is an
organization of artists whose primary purpose is to bring talented, established
and emerging artists in the Las Vegas area to public attention. Local, amateur
and professional artists of the Vegas Artists Guild reach these goals through
meetings, workshops and demonstrations, art shows and networking.

History
The Las Vegas Artists' Guild was founded in 1996 by a group of local Las Vegas artists led by Andre Mouton. Throughout the rich history of the LVAG, we have had a number of leaders in our art community as both board members and participants in the Guild.
Scholarships
Dale Karr Scholarship Fund
Local Art teachers
from public schools (grades K-12) are encouraged to submit plans to the Board of
the Las Vegas Artists' Guild each spring. Plans are reviewed and final Fund
recipients will be chosen by the Guild's Trustees. For example, a $700 Fund was
awarded to Chaparral High School's Art Department, which helped the students
turn an unused portion of the school's cafeteria into a versatile and stylish
Art Gallery to showcase student's work. Dale Karr was a past president of the
LVAG. All donations to our Dale Karr Scholarship Fund are tax deductible.
Don Russell Memorial Award
Each year, the guild
presents several awards to members who have gone above and beyond the call of
duty on behalf of the guild. They are awarded at the end of the year and their
membership dues for the following year are waived in honor of their
extraordinary efforts for the guild. The award is named after past member Don
Russell, who was a talented sculptor and long time supporter of the arts.
Newsletters
Each month the Las Vegas Artists' Guild produces a Newsletter, called the eARTh. This page lists the Newsletters as they come out. It also serves as a location to find back issues. Newsletters are in PDF format. Click here to view.
