The Waccamaw Arts & Crafts Guild is a non-profit, state-chartered organization. Sixteen artists and crafts people who wished to encourage and promote fine arts in the community organized it in 1969.

      Membership is open to professional, non-professional and student artists and crafts persons as well as associate members interested in the arts.

      A Board of Directors oversees the operations of the Guild. The calendar of events for the year includes:

• Monthly program meetings from September to May on the third Thursday of the month. A variety of programs is offered including demonstrations, slide presentations, social gathers with exhibitions of recent works by members, and panel discussions on subjects of interest to artists such as framing and making slides of your art, etc. Guests are always welcome at no charge.
• Two art shows, that at least one of them have been ongoing for 33 years.
• Three Art in the Park shows are held in Chapin Park each year giving artists an opportunity to display and sell their work.
• An annual Student Show held at the B & C Art Museum.

      Members are kept informed of events of interest by periodic newsletters and postcards.

      Individual, family and student memberships are available. There is a downloadable application on this website.
