About Us

Local residents sharing their interest in Arts and Crafts...

 

The Blount County Arts and Crafts Guild (BCACG) in Maryville TN was founded in 1964 and continues growing today. 

 It is a non-profit organization.  
The Crafts Guild is open to all adult residents (over the age of 18) of our community 

who enjoy learning and sharing their creativity.  


​Monthly meetings help members grow in their knowledge of arts and crafts.  Sharing of ideas and new techniques from members and outside speakers sparks creativity for all.    

Meetings are held once per month. Due to COVID, currently we are NOT meeting at the Blount County Library, in the Sharon Lawson Room.   Most member meetings feature a guest speaker, demonstrations, member "show & tells", and other items of interest to our members.  

Guests are welcome -- we invite you to visit.

the Guild is not meeting at the Library.  

We are meeting at the Bird and the Book Cafe, (downstairs), 1505 E Broadway Ave, Maryville.

The Guild's History

The Blount County Arts and Crafts Guild In Our Local Art Education History .....

In year's past, the Guild has been instrumental in establishing the need for art instruction in area schools through it's art-in-Schools Program, professional artists were employed to provide for those schools which did not have art teachers.  With the cooperation of Channel 2 TV,  professional videotapes were produced in connection with the art residency programs.  The videos are available to all area schools.  The program provided the impetus for hiring an art teacher in Blount County Schools.  The remainder of the community contributions to the Guild's program, $1,000 was donated to this education effort.
