ABOUT US
The Murray Art Guild (MAG) Community Art Center is a community based non-profit organization dedicated to supporting arts enrichment with the mission of “Motivating artistic growth through community arts development.” MAG was formed in 1967 when several like minded community members established a place where artists could create art as well as exhibit and sell their work. Fifty-five plus years and several locations later, this goal is still key to our mission as we provide arts programming for local youth and adults in a range of mediums, host year round exhibitions, sell through our Art Market, and create in our studios. Our facility houses two community workspaces, areas for weaving and clay as well as rents several private studios.
The MAG welcomes participants of all ages and abilities; we are proud to promote the delectation that comes from art. MAG does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender expression, age, national origin, disability, marital status, or sexual orientation in any of our activities or operations. We are committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all of our members, our staff and volunteers, our clients and patrons.
