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. One great benefit of being a TAG member is you can exhibit your artwork in a true gallery environment! Hours are 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Closed Sundays, Mondays and Holidays.
