The Goose Creek Artists Guild was founded in 1982, and is comprised of artists from Berkeley, Dorchester, and Charleston counties.
Our membership includes artists of all levels of expertise. The guild promotes art in the community by participating in arts-related activities and festival events, outreach in schools, visual arts workshops, and showcasing artwork in venues throughout the area.
An annual judged exhibition welcomes all juried exhibiting members to participate, receive recognition for their works, and compete for award ribbons and cash prizes.
Monthly meetings include a live visual art demonstration and business agenda to further our purpose..."to bring together a group of artists interested in self-improvement, public recognition, and the promotion of arts in the community."
The mission of the Goose Creek artist guild, a 501c3 non-profit organization, is to bring together a group of artists interested in self-improvement, public recognition, and promotion of art in our community.

The Guild works closely with the City of Goose Creek and their efforts to bring more art into our community through painted sculpture in the city and featured artworks printed on 2x4 foot flags, vinyl-wrapped utility boxes, and murals. Goose Creek Artists Guild members have also worked closely with businesses and organizations throughout the city to design and paint geese statues for the Adopt-a-Goose Program.
