The Clovis Art Guild was established in 1957 to provide art related activities to interested members of the community. It is the Oldest art association in the Clovis/Fresno area. The Guild’s purpose is to promote fellowship among artists, encourage enjoyment, understanding and appreciation of the arts within the community and to offer exhibits, shows, programs, art demonstrations and workshops to artists and art lovers. The Art Guild prides itself on extending a warm welcome to new artists and being a force to bring art to the community at large.

C.A.G. meets at 7:00 p.m. on the 2nd Wednesday of each month February through October at the Clovis Veteran’s Memorial Building on 5th and Hughes Avenues and usually features a painting demonstration by a well-known artist, a quick-draw or hands-on activity, which is open to the public. Demonstrations and other activities are free to members, but a $5.00 donation is suggested for non-members.

C.A.G. sponsors 3 Fine Art Open shows each year: The Fine Art Miniature Works Show in February, The Old West & Rodeo Fine Art Show in conjunction with the Clovis Rodeo in April, and The Veteran’s Fall Open Show in November to coincide with Veteran’s Day.
