WHERE LOCAL ARTISTS CAN COLLABORATE WITH OTHERS A group in individuals gathered together and felt there was a need for a place artists could gather, share and participate in visual arts. Through the efforts of these individuals, and countless volunteer hours, Tiffin Art Guild was born. Have a special talent you want to share with others, want to display your art, or participate in a gallery showing, then Tiffin Art Gallery is for you.
Anyone Can Join! Anyone with a desire to create visual art is eligble to join TAG. Whether you are a novice, professional, a beginner or a seasoned artist, child, student, young adult, or senior citizen and want to create art, you can join.
Hours are 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Closed Sundays, Mondays and Holidays.

Second Saturday
We're doing something NEW on one Saturday each month. Members are invited to come to the Gallery and participate in an informal "meeting." Second Saturday (and we will do it on the 2nd Saturday of every month) is going to be a "free-for'all" discussion, demonstration, critique, coffee klatch, or whatever the participants want to do (within reason and the law!) We are formulating the idea but for the first Saturday we suggest you bring coffee, something to nosh on, maybe artwork that you are working on and need advice, or just your fertile mind. We will be open at 10:00 a.m. Bring coffee! |
