February 6–28, 2027 | Guilford Art Center Gallery
As Guilford Art Center celebrates 70 years of inspiring creativity and fostering a vibrant arts community, we’re inviting our talented instructors and adult students—past and present—to be part of a special anniversary exhibition!
Celebrating 70 Years: GAC Faculty & Student Exhibition will showcase the creativity, talent and artistic accomplishments of the people who make Guilford Art Center such a special place. Whether you’re an instructor who has shared your skills and passion or an adult student who has explored a new medium, developed your skills or discovered a creative interest at GAC, we want to celebrate your work.
