Local Arts Information

DID YOU KNOW....?

Gifts and financial contributions to the Art Guild are tax- deductible. The Mantorville Art Guild is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Your support can be sent directly to the Guild or your pledge to the United Way can be designated specifically for the Guild through United Way of Dodge County, Minnesota

We also GLADLY accept your donation of art or craft supplies and books for use in our classes or for sale in our thrifted art supply section (lovingly known as "Odd Balls and Book Ends.") All proceeds raised through Odd Balls and Book Ends help us further our goal of providing arts education and inspiration for the community, and help cover the costs associated with our kids' classes and make-and-take crafts, such as Giant Marigolds, Holiday Ornaments, Pumpkin Painting, and many more.

So--don't chuck Aunt Fran's collection of fat quarters, beads, yarns, books and buttons--give us a call!
