Our goal is to offer our friends, neighbors and all those interested in art an opportunity to expand their exposure to, and participation in, a variety of artistic activities, or to simply enjoy the wonders of art. 

Members’ interests range from pastel, traditional watercolor and oil painting  to unusual art forms such as encaustic wax techniques.  We are continually exploring exhibit opportunities for our members, and our newsletter provides members with information on area art events.  “A Walk in the Park” is our annual art fair held on the last Sunday of August.  The title of the fair comes from its location in beautiful North School Park in downtown Arlington Heights. 

The Arlington Heights Art Guild provides a social opportunity to exchange thoughts and ideas on art, to share current projects, and gather information from like-minded peers.

We take great pride in our selection of outstanding professional artists who demonstrate their skills, techniques and insights at our regularly scheduled meetings. Our demonstrations include watercolor, oil, pastel, pencil, acrylic and other media.

Most meetings are held on the third Thursday of the month from September to May, with the exception of December. The organization meets at the Wheeling Twp. Community Service Center:

6:45 pm - sign in and mingle

7:15 pm - business meeting

7:30 pm - guest artist demonstration

Please join us at a meeting!  Guests are always welcome for a $5 fee. If you decide to join the Guild, the guest fee is waived.
