Ste. Genevieve Art Guild

Art and Ste. Genevieve have been synonymously related since the early 1930's. The charm of the small town along the banks of the Mississippi River appealed to such artists as Aimee Schweig, Jessie Rickly, Thomas Hart Benton, Bernard Peters, Matthew Ziegler, James Audubon and Rosco Misselhorn.

Art continues to thrive in Ste. Genevieve through the Ste. Genevieve Art Guild. Workshops with renowned artists James Godwin Scott, Al Agnew, Charles Rhinehard, Dr. Grant Lund, Doris Flavin, Margaret O'Brien, Marilyn Bradley and other noted artists are sponsored through the guild. The Ste. Genevieve Art Guild supports the fine art programs in the community through children's art shows and an art scholarship program. Artists of the Guild are regularly seen painting within the gardens of historic homes or along the picturesque streets of Ste. Genevieve. Concluding a year of demonstrations, workshops, and outdoor painting, the Guild annually hosts an art show in conjunction with the Ste. Genevieve Christmas Walk. Through the eyes and hands of local artists, art continues to flourish in Ste. Genevieve.

The original watercolor displayed on this page is by Kathy Nausley, a member of the Ste. Genevieve Art Guild. A raffle for this painting will be held on Sunday, December 7, 1997 at 3:30 p.m. Raffle tickets are $1.00 or 6 for $5.00 and will be available at the Art Show on December 6 and 7, 1997 or from members of the Art Guild prior to the show.
