Twelve area artists formed the Arvada Fine Arts Guild in November 1959. The Guild was organized for persons interested in the study of fine arts. The membership endeavors to encourage the originality of the individual and to obtain public recognition for the amateur as well as the professional artist.

The meetings were first held in members’ homes until the membership grew too large, and then were held in various places in the Arvada area. In 1976 the Guild began meeting at the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., Arvada, CO, and still meets there today.

Over the years, exhibits have been held at many places in Arvada and surrounding areas.

We wish wish to extend to the people of Arvada and surrounding areas an invitation to visit our meetings. We have critiques and demonstrations by well-known professional artists. These meetings are informative and provide a good learning experience. Come share with us.
