North Coast Artists' Guild

The North Coast Artists' Guild was formed in 1997 as an affiliate of Gualala Arts to better serve working artists in the Mendocino and Sonoma coastal communities, from as far south as the Russian River to as far north as Little River. There are currently more than 82 members, many of whom are represented in the Local Artists pages.

Guild activities include:

• the annual Studio Discovery Tour;
• exhibits in local venues;
• a double booth at the annual Art in the Redwoods Festival;
• several gallery and foyer shows each year at the Gualala Arts Center;
• membership meetings;
• a list-serve and website;
• scholarship funding.

The Studio Discovery Tour is our largest event. It is managed by the Guild and is held on two weekends beginning on Labor Day. Over 15,000 color brochures are printed and distributed in July and August to promote this event. You can download a free copy of the brochure from the Guild's studio-tours.com website. You can request a paper copy via an email request to Scott Chieffo, or mail your request to

The Guild's central objective is to assist local artists in improving their incomes and reputations. We are working to make our art community an art buying destination like the towns of Mendocino and Carmel.
