Winter Semester Registration Opens Today

Registration for Guilford Art Center’s Winter 2021 semester opens today at 10:00 am. We’re excited to look ahead as we continual to create new educational opportunities for all.

The winter semester continues our hybrid approach, which offers classes and workshops that take place on-campus as well as online. Class sizes for on-campus gatherings will continue to be limited to 50% capacity and with a strict masking mandate and all other protocols in place, in order to operate safely.

Registration is online only. If you cannot register online, please email info@guilfordartcenter.org and a staff member will contact you as soon as possible.

Classes are open to all levels unless otherwise noted; adult classes are open to ages 13+. Click here for more information.

 


Sold Out but you can still do good!

The Soup for Good To Go event is sold out! However, you can still give much-needed support to the Guilford Art Center and the Community Dining Room through an event donation.

If you donate the ticket price ($30), you will be entered into the drawings for the handmade pottery bowls and Jacques Pepin cook books. You’ll also receive the recipe booklet and video message from Chef Pepin. If you win, we will contact you via email by December 6.

Your donations are so appreciated as GAC and CDR continue to navigate financial challenges during the COVID pandemic. Thank you so much for supporting these important shoreline non-profit organizations.

Event support generously provided by Panera Bread, Cate’s Sew Modern, and Shoreline Wine Merchants.
