Metairie Art Guild is a non-profit organization which
has been in existence for over 50 years. Our objective
is to educate persons with common interests in various
media of art. We meet together for study, discussion
and to encourage the talent of the membership. Our
membership is diverse in nationalities, which allows
us to learn more of other cultures.
We take pride in our organization by volunteering
our time and talents to numerous fund-raisers in Jefferson
Parish. Our presence in the Parish is known as many
of our members are instructors, teaching art in after
school programs, kids' summer camps, parish play-
ground art programs, leisure service art programs and
private lessons.
Our goal is to promote knowledge and participation
in the visual arts by the community through exhibitions,
teaching programs and workshops. We hold a public
exhibition of fine art three times a year. Our focus is to
provide art activities for community members who have
limited art experiences.
