Carolina Painters’ Guild Mission:
Women artists inspired by a shared vision of encouraging the voice and expression of its members through the creation of art.
About the Guild
In April of 2016 a group of ladies were taking art lessons when they decided they were having so much fun and learning so much from each other that they needed to form a club of sorts. Taking their cues from the ancient guilds of the old world, Carolina Painters’ Guild was formed as a community of women creating art, developing their skills, and nurturing new talents. CPG welcomes experienced artists and those new to art, encouraging them to bring fresh ideas, develop innovative techniques and generate energy and excitement within our community. We continue to evolve in order to meet the interests of our members. Becoming a member requires having a voice in our activities, educational programs, shows and social activities.

History of the Gallery
The Welborn Gallery was named after Marion and Jewell Welborn of Boonville for the generous lead gift they made to the Center’s capital campaign. The Welborns gifted the final funds needed to close the campaign and make possible the opening of the center.
