The Niagara Arts Guild Exhibition

Lockside Art Center and The Niagara Arts Guild are partnering up for an amazing exhibition at the art center celebrating the arts of the Niagara Area.

Lockside Art Center’s Niagara Arts Guild Exhibition opens October 15th, 2016 and runs through November 19th. We invite everyone to come out and experience the local art of Niagara with us! This exhibition will feature art from members of the Niagara Arts Guild. In 1948, Western New York artists created an organization for support and education, the Niagara Arts Guild. Today the Guild continues to provide shows; art demonstrations by experts in various art media, including the business of art; and regular meetings for its members and visitors. In its 68th year, the Niagara Arts Guild announces the Fall Members’ Exhibition at the Lockside Art Center, 21-41 Main Street at Pine, Lockport, NY. The Fall Exhibition opens Saturday, October 15, from 2 to 4 PM. The show is juried, and a Viewer’s Choice Award given at the opening. Fine art, photography, and sculpture are all featured at the show in Suite 208, accessible to all via elevator from the Erie Canal side of Lockside.
