The Boulder City Art Guild began over 40 years ago when a group of friends gathered to paint and create art.  In 1976, the decision was made to formally organize, establish rules and regulations, and apply for non-profit status with the State. The group became known as the Boulder City Art Guild, Inc., with the purpose of promoting Fine Art.

The Guild promotes Fine Art by:

1. Organizing fine art shows and exhibits,

2. Maintaining an art gallery,

3. Offering workshops and presentations on various fine art subjects,

4. Awarding scholarships to qualifying individuals for participation in art classes/workshops and,

5. Awarding scholarships to qualifying high school graduates pursuing fine art at the college level.

In 1995, having outgrown their original space, the Guild moved into the revitalized Boulder Dam Hotel at 1305 Arizon Street and reestablished its Art Gallery for its members to display and sell their artwork. The Gallery is open seven days a week, and an artist is always on duty.

Everyone is welcome to join whether an artist or someone with an interest in supporting fine art.
