The Hammond Art Guild was established in 1963 with the idea of its founders having an open guild that anyone could join.  The mission of the Guild is to create and cultivate the appreciation of art among artists and the community at large. We are open to new ideas and new adventures, thanks to the wisdom of our charter members we conduct ourselves by a very simple set of bylaws that separate us from restrictive constructs. 

Hammond's Art Guild prides itself on the sharing, caring attitude of its members and the wonderful friendships that have developed throughout its existence. Continuing education and exposure to various art forms are presented to members through demonstrations at monthly meetings as well as Guild-sponsored workshops and camps. 

Hammond Art Guild has touched many lives and hopefully will be the source of inspiration and encouragement for emerging artists for years to come.
