ABOUT US

In 1980 the Art Guild of the Kennebunks (AGK) was founded to foster camaraderie, support, and professional stimulation.  Beginning as a loosely knit organization, the Guild developed into a formal corporate structure with non-profit status.  AGK grants scholarships to deserving students in the visual arts from Kennebunk High School.


From the inception, members were and continue to be juried into the organization based on professional artistic criteria.


We have approximately 60 juried artist members representing a wide variety of visual arts mediums including: painting, photography, printmaking, sculpting, textile art, and mixed media.
