Artists’ Guild of Lewisburg

The Artists’ Guild of Lewisburg is a group of visual artists whose mission is to form a community that strives to encourage, challenge, support and inspire its members. The Guild holds critiques, hosts trips, plans local events, has an annual members show, keeps members up to date on art shows in the area, and shares opportunities such as calls for artists, gallery notices, and teaching opportunities.

The Guild was started in 2012 when a group of artists and art lovers felt that more support was needed for the many area artists. Over the years we have sponsored a bus trip to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, informal plein air events at local natural sites, critiques in homes and art studios and during the pandemic online via Zoom, and beginning in 2015 an annual Members’ Show.

Additionally, the Guild has worked to match local artists with art opportunities such as teaching workshops, displaying artwork in local businesses, and participating in festivals. We have partnered with the Linn Conservancy to host a plein air event for high school art students with a featured artist from the Guild; with the Lewisburg Children’s Museum to offer art classes with children; with the Lewisburg Garden Club to place artists in neighborhood gardens for the garden tour; and with BRVA to offer art classes to the community.

We are continuously working to expand opportunities for artists and to support each other. Someday we hope to have our own gallery and show space. Please join us in making Lewisburg an engaging, supportive, profitable and joyful place for artists to live and work.

Lewisburg Photography Club

The Lewisburg Photography Club is for photographers, both amateur and professional, living in the Lewisburg area and surrounding towns.

The Lewisburg Photography Club’s mission is four-fold:

• to bring together photographers in the Lewisburg area
• to form a vibrant photography community that shares ideas, collaborates on projects, and mentors each other on different aspects of photography
• to promote and excite an interest in the art of photography
• to support and encourage photographers of all skill levels in an open learning environment

Education, hands-on learning opportunities, competitions, new experiences, field trips, and friendship among peers with similar interests and passions are just some of the benefits of joining the Photography Club. Have you ever wished you could find a person to talk to about photography or to get a review of your work to help you improve your technique? If your answer is yes — the Photography Club could be the perfect answer for you. The Photography Club has monthly meetings with speakers, holds critiques, photo walks, photo challenges, trips, and discussions on various aspects of photography. The club conducts workshops for the club as well as for Lewisburg and surrounding communities.

Currently, the Photo Club meets monthly at the Central PA Chamber of Commerce building in Montandon. For more details about upcoming meetings, photo tours, and events visit LewisburgPhotoClub.org.
