About Us

History:

In 1941 an open art exhibition for adults was given in the Downers Grove Library, which showcased the work of local artists and others with a talent for art. Later, a small group meeting was held where the idea of organizing an artists’ guild was conceived. A few weeks later, The Downers Grove Artists’ Guild was organized with a charter membership of ten. The guild includes artists from several surrounding suburbs as well as Downers Grove.
