Fredericksburg Art Guild

Fredericksburg Art Guild’s First Friday – January 6 - activities feature the opening reception for “Who Knew! oil painting show, and the January Artist of the Month Exhibit.


“Who Knew! “ is a juried art show honoring the students of Truby Hardin. The opening reception is First Friday, January 6 at 4 – 8 pm. Truby Hardin has been teaching art and painting since 1972. Upon her recent retirement from Kerr County, Truby has been teaching beginning oil painting at the Fredericksburg Art Guild.

The January Artist of the Month exhibit features photo montages by Fredericksburg native, Melissa Starry. Melissa likes to use various mediums to “build” a picture. The process of layering adds interest, drawing the viewer to see more than just the subject matter. Melissa’s pictures are primarily narrative and tell a visual story. Her work has won numerous awards over the years and is in private and public collections.

The Fredericksburg Art Guild represents over 20 Hill Country Artists and exhibits fine art, jewelry, sculpture, photography and more.

The Guild’s hours are 10 am to 4p.m. - open until 8 p.m. on the First Friday of every month. The Guild is closed on Tuesday and Wednesdays. The Fredericksburg Art Guild is located behind the Museum of the Pacific War at 308 East Austin Street. Ample, free parking is available behind the Convention and Visitors’ Center. The Guild can be reached at 830-997-4949 and www.fredericksburgartguild.org

The Fredericksburg Art Guild is a nonprofit organization that also receives financial support from the City of Fredericksburg Hotel/Motel Tax Fund and annual grant funding from Pedernales Creative Arts Alliance/OktoberFest.
