How to support the Merrickville Arts Guild and its members
It’s not some abstract thing to support the arts…It’s a very vital part of our lives
– Liv Thompson
Buy from our member artists
The best way to support the guild is by buying our artists’ work. If you love it, buy it!
Join the guild
Don’t be shy. Be part of it! Share your awesome art. Get it out there. Come mingle with and discover other local super talented fellow artists. Not an artist? Not a problem! The Guild is open to those who appreciate art and want to support the arts in its many forms.
Volunteer at events
If you’re more of an art lover than an artist, but really want in on the action, volunteer at our events! Connect with us and we’ll give you a shout when things start heating up. There are many ways to volunteer: Helping set up and take down exhibits or shows, man our Starving Artist Café, help with web maintenance, accounting or sales, scoping out interesting speakers for our Conversations series, etc., or sharing a skill that could be useful to the MAG members.
Donate
Not an artist but love the arts? Would you like to help promote the arts in our community? Your donation can help us meet our mission to do just that. Donations to support the Guild to offer arts programming to the community and a variety of opportunities to local artists, can be sent to our treasurer.
Sponsor events and activities
Do you love Merrickville? Do you have creative ideas on how you can help support our Guild activities? Let’s work together!
Advertise in our brochure
Depending on funding availability, we print a brochure each year containing information about current Guild artists. It’s available in local businesses and at all our shows and events. Tourists love it! Get your business name in our brochure! It’s a win-win!
Share your knowledge
Know something we don’t? Want to share your nuggets of information? Help improve our artists’ skill set, help them self-promote or give us tips on how best to set up the best art show tent exhibit? We’d love to hear from you!
Contribute to our special activities
Sometimes we are called upon to help with causes important to the Merrickville community. You can help too by answering our call for support. We post these special activities on our Facebook page. Like the MAG Facebook page to keep informed.
