Art Guild 38th annual art show

The Greenville Art Guild is proud to announce the opening of its 38th annual art show and sale beginning September 28 through October 2 at Shawnee Prairie Nature Center on State Route 502 just west of Greenville, Ohio. The opening of the show coincides with Prairie Days at the center Saturday and Sunday, September 28 and 29. The weekend's activities promise to be fun for all ages.

Additional activities will be at the Ohio Gourd Show at the fairgrounds and downtown Greenville during the same weekend. The art show is a "must see" feast for the eyes with over 120 original pieces of art on display by local artists and many of them will be for sale. The public is welcome to this free cultural event and a lovely door prize painting by Evelyn Mahrt will be awarded to one lucky art show attendee. Larry Wetzel of B & B Frame Gallery on State Route 49, just north of Arcanum, generously donated the framing for this painting.

The show will be open from 9 to 5 on Saturday, September 28 and 12 to 5 on Sunday with additional hours 9 to 5 Monday through Wednesday. Be sure to stop by our face painting booth, which will be at Prairie Days again this year. Donations collected at the face painting booth support our community activities such as our Nature Day craft this spring for children and our free art journaling workshop this summer in the park. In addition, the Guild is sponsoring a children's art show in the nature center classroom for the first time this year during Prairie Days.
