Gallery Openings and Artist Receptions
Creative Arts Guild Gallery Openings + Artist Receptions typically take place on the first Friday evening of each month from 5:30-7:00pm. They give the public the first opportunity to view and purchase from the latest exhibits in Gallery FIVE20 and Gallery ONE11, as well as the opportunity for viewers to speak with exhibiting artists and curators. Gallery Openings are always free, family-friendly, and open to all. We will have an arts-focused activity set up for the kids in attendance! Refreshments and a cash bar are also available.
NEXT GALLERY OPENING + RECEPTION: FESTIVAL 2024 EXHIBIT, SEPTEMBER 20
The Festival 2024 Exhibit is a juried exhibit that spans the entirety of the Creative Art Guild's galleries (Gallery FIVE20, Gallery ONE11) and is open to artists over the age of 18 working in all mediums. This year we have over 50 local and regional artists participating!
The Festival 2024 Exhibit officially opens to the public at our ticketed Festival Preview Party + Taste of Dalton event on Friday, September 20 from 7-9pm (tickets available here). The Festival Exhibit will remain on display and will be open to all with free admission for the rest of Festival weekend (Sept. 21-22) and through October 25!
