From the Heart” Art Auction at historical Elderfields Preserve. The festive hol-
iday party included delicious food, passed hors d’oeuvres and desserts, music
and a live auction of beautiful artwork.
Guests were greeted by twinkling holiday lights and live music as they
approached a transformed Art Guild and galleries. More than 150 donated one-
of-a-kind works of art lined the walls and were available for auction, with some
going for as much as $500. Remaining works are available for just $100.
“Thanks to the generosity of the community and local businesses that

In 1999 a group of local artists organized The
Art Guild (affectionately known as TAG). In

County for use of the Hewlett-Munson-Williams
House at Elderfields Historic Preserve.
With a place to call home, the Guild expanded
its programming to include art classes, lectures,
demonstrations, the Visiting Artist Workshop
Series, art exhibits, and rentable studio space.
The Art Guild was awarded Blank Slate Media’s
