The Batavia Artists’ Guild has been operating since 1993. The Guild’s fiscal year runs from October through September of each year, with membership dues of $25 as an exhibiting artist and $15 for a patron. The Guild’s focus is to foster, create and encourage appreciation of the Fine Arts and to encourage the artists in the expression of their ideas.

Artists interested in joining the Guild must submit 3 photos of their work to be juried for membership by a 3-person membership panel of the Batavia Artists’ Guild.

The Guild’s Board Members meet quarterly to organize and schedule the activities and Art Exhibits/Sales for members, and to send out a newsletter to update members. The Board bases the involvements scheduled to the interests of the members, with a strong effort to have three or four shows scheduled each year. Members are expected to help in working the shows in which they are involved by being present and helping with sales. It is not mandatory to be involved in all shows as a member.
