The mission of the Southwest Florida Fine Craft Guild is to encourage and maintain high standards of artistry and creativity of members. Guild members enjoy sharing their creations and networking with like-minded artists. Southwest Florida Fine Craft Guild members are active participants in the local community by lending their expertise and participate in art exhibitions, workshops, demonstrations, art scholarships and exhibitions.
Members and Friends of the Southwest Florida Fine Craft Guild,
As we step into a new year, I am again excited for the opportunities ahead. Our Guild has always been a place where creativity thrives, and this year promises to bring even greater artistic achievement and community connection.
In the months to come, we will continue to showcase the incredible talents of our members through exhibitions, events, and collaborations. Each show is not only a celebration of fine craft but also a chance for us to inspire others and strengthen our role as advocates and promoters of the art and culture in Southwest Florida.
We are committed to supporting one another as artists—sharing knowledge, refining techniques, and encouraging bold new ideas. Just as importantly, we will expand our scholarship funds and educational outreach, ensuring that the next generation of artists has the tools and inspiration to grow.
Our Guild has a proud history, and together we will build on it with fresh energy and vision. Let’s make this year one of exploration, innovation, and artistic excellence. I encourage each of you to participate fully, bring your best work forward, and continue to nurture the creative spirit that defines us.
Here’s to a year of artistry, achievement, and community.
Warmly,
Lynn Ondercin
