Celebrate the creativity of our Guild community with an engaging conversation featuring artists from this year’s Annual Guild Member Show. During this relaxed and inspiring talk, participating artists will share the stories behind their selected works, what motivated their creative choices, and how their pieces evolved from idea to finished artwork.
You’ll hear a range of perspectives—different mediums, approaches, and artistic journeys—all woven together by a shared commitment to making and exploring. Artists will also reflect on their process, materials, challenges, and moments of discovery that shaped their work.
This behind-the-scenes look is open to everyone. Whether you’re an artist, art enthusiast, or simply curious about how artworks come to life, this conversation offers a meaningful way to connect with the people who make our creative community thrive.
