Come see the beautiful artwork in our two galleries which are open to the public. There is always artwork available for purchase.

Our History

The Falmouth Artists Guild began almost 50 years ago when a small group of Falmouth painters got together and began informal art classes. They soon realized that working in a group improved their love of art and their artistic skills.

Today, the Guild is a tax-exempt, non-profit organization with over 400 members and a full roster of classes, workshops, exhibits, and art sales offered on a year-round basis. The Guild also collaborates with other community groups on joint artistic events.

The Guilds main purpose is to provide a place to create art and improve artistic skills. Artists of all ages,and media are welcome. The Guild also provides another important opportunity – fellowship. Says a longtime member: “the Guild has changed my life. it has developed me artistically and I have made countless new friends. I wouldn’t give it up for anything”.

The Falmouth Artists Guild is now housed in the new Falmouth Art Center at the corner of Gifford Street and Dillingham Avenue on land donated by Chris Wise of Chatham. Landscaping was made possible by individuals and businesses donating their time and materials. Funding for the building was primarily from private individuals and foundations with a $240,000 grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Facilities Fund.
No debt was incurred in completing the building. The Art Center is designed to accommodate future expansion.

The building was officially dedicated in June 2009. Our first summer in the new Art Center has seen amazing growth in classes offered, students participating, artwork submitted for exhibitions, and number of members enrolled.
