LA Guild Members Only ... We Need Your Help!

This opportunity is for LA Guild ACTIVE members only. We are redesigning our website and want to include your artwork on our new website. We will display LA Guild members' artwork as follows:

  1. Populate the website with images from our members and include a credit line with the name of the artist. Depending on the pool of artwork that is provided, those images will rotate on a regular basis.

  2. Feature a single artist each month on a separate web page. The featured artist page will include a gallery of his/her work with biographical and contact information.

If you are an ACTIVE LA Guild member and are interested in showing your work on the LA Guild website, then please join our mailing list. We will contact you with additional information after your membership status is verified.

If you are not a member of the LA Guild, to join the Graphic Artists Guild, CLICK HERE and become a member today!
