About us

The Abbeville Artist Guild sponsors many activities throughout the year to help promote the arts in Abbeville County.  The mission of the Artist Guild is to bring an understanding of the many ways that our society/community members can express themselves in positive ways through art.  We seek to enrich our community and promote growth through education, active participation in and exhibition of the Arts.

The Artist Guild is a member of the South Carolina Arts Alliance that promotes the Arts in South Carolina.  We are a member of the Greater Abbeville Chamber of Commerce. 

Because Abbeville County is considered an underserved county, we have been approved for operating grants for several years from the South Carolina Art Commission to help pay for the general operating expenses of the Guild.  This is a 1:1 matching grant. Each dollar awarded must be matched with one dollar cash.

We also receive funds from the Abbeville County Accommodations Tax to fund events.
