NATIONAL GUILD FOR COMMUNITY ARTS EDUCATION

The National Guild for Community Arts Education (Guild) is the sole national service organization for community arts education. Since 1937, the Guild has worked in service to individuals and organizations ensuring all people have opportunities to maximize their creative potential. In recent years the community, staff, and board members have pushed them to look deeply into creating new decolonial practices as individuals, as an organization, and as a broader community arts education field.
