Community Outreach
Since its inception in 1928, Arizona Artists Guild has promoted the arts through education, exhibition and outreach.
Community Outreach is the cornerstone of the Arizona Artists Guild’s activities and is the main focus of our organization. We recognize the impact that art has on people’s lives and it’s potential for facilitating healing, which is immeasurable. AAG recognizes the value of the arts in how it enriches lives. Guild members and Outreach Program participants alike relate stories about how their lives were changed through their own exposure to fine art, be it at an early age or later in life when they could pursue a life-long urge that had been repressed due to family and career obligations.
Tuition-Free Monthly Art Classes
AAG provides tuition-free monthly art classes to underserved segments of our community who find an improved quality of life through making art. To follow are descriptions of each program. If you are interested in participating either as volunteer or participant, please email ArtistsofAAG@gmail.com. We recognize that everyone’s situation and needs are different. Our program is not therapy or intended to replace counseling. We encourage participants to engage in any form of therapy, counseling or support that suits their needs. Partial funding provided by the Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture through appropriations from the Phoenix City Council and in part by the Arizona Art Alliance which receives support from the Arizona Department of Veteran Services and Arizona Commission of the Arts.
