If you work in collage or assemblage, paper or polymer clays, beads, stamps, cloth or fibers, paper, metal, and other materials or if you use found objects, natural materials such as cones, pods or gourds and if you create art dolls, altered books, jewelry, quilts, and other alternative arts, this is the group for you.

Or maybe you like to jump from one medium to another until finally they can no longer be separated. Or are you the artist who cannot get recognition because his/her art does not fit any recognized category? Well you have come to the right place!

While primarily a group of North and South Carolina artists, we welcome creative individuals from around the country and the globe to our on-line discussion including, but not limited to: artistic endeavors, calls for shows and events, chat about unique supplies, and above all: promote mixed media in art!

Our home page art is by the participants of our 2008 Charm Swap. Sixteen Members and Guests created each of the beautiful charms; and this piece is being sold as a fund raiser for the Guild. It was designed and constructed by Jean Skipper of Southern Pines, NC. For purchase information, visit www.etsy.com, and enter CMMAG in the 'Search' box. Members can see detailed photos of all the charms and individual jewelry creations in the Photos section, here:

This group serves as the primary communication source for our physical Guild Members (in and around Raleigh, NC); and as such, there is regular chatter concerning meeting and other 'local' details. If we prove to generate too much e-mail for you, please set delivery options to Digest. For additional information on this group and the guidelines for posting, please visit the Files section: Carolina Mixed Media Art Guild.doc If you wish to join, please take a moment to tell us where you are from and what your primary artistic interests are.
