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 shells, pods or gourds; or 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 your art does not fit any standard, 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 online discussion including, but not limited to: artistic endeavors, calls for shows and events, chat about art techniques and materials, and above all: promotion of mixed media in art!

Our home page photo features the participants of our 1st Annual Potluck Planning Picnic! Photo credit: Lucy Shupe. This adventurous crew joined forces to lay the groundwork for 2010, on Sunday July 26th at the Chavis Community Center. In addition to enjoying the now infamous good grub of our collective, we revelled in the open exchange of wonderful ideas for making our beloved Guild even BETTER!

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.
