Call for Entry
The Art Guild of Rural Texas
was established in 2003 to augment art programs in the
local rural schools and to provide programs for
children and adults in the community. Its reach has
now expanded to provide art experiences to schools in
several counties. The Art Guild board and members are
committed to bringing the same high quality of visual
and performing arts programs to our rural areas that
are available in urban areas. We touch lives and
expose individuals to all aspects of the arts. Through
the art of music, the visual arts, drama and more, we
are committed to making a difference in those lives we
touch.
