GAC Gift Certificates
Making time for creativity matters. In our busy, always-on lives, doing something creative gives us a chance to slow down, focus, and reconnect with ourselves. Whether it’s shaping clay, picking up a paintbrush, or learning a new skill, creative work helps reduce stress, spark joy, and build confidence.
That’s why a Guilford Art Center gift certificate is such a meaningful gift. You’re not just giving a class or workshop—you’re giving someone the chance to explore their creativity, try something new, and enjoy time spent making. It’s a thoughtful way to support well-being, curiosity, and a little everyday joy.
GAC gift certificates can be purchased for any amount and they never expire. Available to use in the School or Shop. Purchase HERE.

GAC Annual Appeal
At Guilford Art Center, we’ve known for nearly 60 years: creating by hand connects us—to ourselves, to one another, and to something timeless. Today, that connection feels more urgent and necessary than ever. Your gift can make a difference and an impact.
For the coming year we plan to continue:
• Expanding our class offerings to welcome even more voices and styles
• Bringing in new instructors who spark inspiration across generations
• Creating more art opportunities, inside and beyond our studios
• Improving our campus, ensuring GAC is here for generations to come
We thank you for your generosity and for being a part of a creative movement grounded in real-life joy, shared experiences, and the belief that art matters.
