Interested in Joining an Artists' Guild?
Regina's art guilds have been long-time supporters of the AGR and involved members of our community! We are delighted to share opportunities from AGR Guild Members to get involved with these engaging and supportive groups that are key contributors to the arts ecology within Saskatchewan.
A guild is a group of artists who meet on a regular basis to inspire and motivate one another. They share ideas and information and offer constructive criticism and encouragement. Guilds also provide learning and marketing opportunities for their members, with most working towards one to two group sales each year.
Regina has several active guilds that welcome new members: you can read more about each guild below and see what ones will suit what you are looking for. Please note that due to COVID-19, many guilds have cancelled exhibitions and that opportunities may have changed.
HeArtland Artist Guild
HeARTland Artists Guild(formerly Regina North Artists Guild) was established in 1980 by 16 local artists. They formed to meet the needs of local artists wanting an avenue to encourage and foster their talents. The Guilds name was changed in 2010 to HeARTland Artists Guild. The Guild continues to create an atmosphere that promotes and encourages its members. Please contact Sheila Banga s.b@sasktel.net for more information. We welcome new members!
Brushworks Art Guild of Regina
A small group of artists joined together for painting instruction in 1989. They enjoyed
the camaraderie and learning experience and decided to reach out to other local
artists to create an environment that fostered their passion. This small and
enthusiastic group became The Brushworks Art Guild of Regina Inc. by incorporating
as a registered non-profit organization in January 1997. The group now consists of
twenty-five-plus members who have a passion for painting.
The Guild meets twice a month to further develop individual growth, gain knowledge,
and share ideas with fellow artists who understand their goals as painters. The
artists work in a variety of mediums including oil, acrylic, watercolour, pastel, pencil,
ink and mixed media. The Guild presents a show and sale twice yearly in spring and
fall.

Regina Art Collective
The Regina Art Collective (RAC), established in 2015, is a collaborative group of artists that have come together to promote their work outside of the commercial gallery model. Coming out of the structure of much larger guilds, RAC believes that a smaller collaborative group of practicing artists contributes to each artist’s personal growth and professional development, in addition to supporting the exposure of their talents and artistic endeavours.
