Non-profit arts organization in Lebanon, Missouri
About Us
Who We Are
The purpose of the Lebanon Art Guild is to promote arts in the Lebanon, Missouri area and to provide opportunities for area residents to view and buy original art work and to promote the arts through classes and art events. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization formed in 1998.
The above "mystery art" project was done by members of the guild. Eight volunteers received a small 1/8 section of the portrait, with the challenge to re-create the piece on an 8x10 sheet in the medium of their choice.
The snowmen below were painted at a watercolor class given by member Patty Kilson at the Lebanon Art Guild Gallery located at 221 West Commercial Street, Lebanon, MO 65536. Techniques included using "Maskoid" to create falling snow and reverse painting for making the background trees. Save the white!
Get Involved
The Lebanon Art Guild has a rich history of promoting art in the community. The Guild sponsored Art at the Farm at the Harrill farm from 2000-2009 and Art in Bloom at Marilyn's Nursery from 2010-2013. The annual Christmas Tea was held since 2000 and a fall "Beanefit" since 2004. Winter Wonderland in December 2020 was our first event after the re-opening of the gallery on Commercial Street. The Anna Hough Art Show in May 2021 celebrated the works of this local artist and the gallery was filled with her wonderful oil paintings .
in 1998, the determination of a handful of people, who saw the need for a meeting place for artists, resulted in a gallery located on Commercial Street in downtown Lebanon. It served as "a cultural gathering place" for many years until it sold..
In 2018, another handful of determined people started meeting, talking, and reopened the same gallery. The challenges of re-establishing a cultural gathering place in this new world of social distancing has taken time. Come join us at our monthly gatherings on the 2nd Tuesday of each month and help us build the future.
Thank You
