Testimonials

"I was extremely green when I did my first painting almost 2 ˝ years ago, (never having touched a paint brush in my life till then)  and I put most of my successes down to all the things I’ve learned from the guild, my only avenue into the art world…I’ve constantly devoured every piece of info on the site for the last two years and its given me the confidence to stick with my ‘dream’ of being an artist."
 Julia Dungan, Auckland

"I am thoroughly glad that I have joined the art guild. I am really enjoying the forums and have been getting lots of inspiration by reading about and seeing what everyone else is doing. It's a great website."
 Melissa Muirhead, Auckland

"This guild is just bursting with opportunity, friendliness, and good help. I'm so glad I joined! Thanks!"
 Silver Donlop, Manawatu

"I must say the guild has been fabulous for me just starting out, very supportive and full of info, absolutely invaluable!"
 Marimba Powley

"Winning the inaugural New Zealand Art Guild's Art Awards has definitely lifted my career as an artist to the next level. Not only do I feel more confident about my work, but the prize money has allowed me to complete more paintings that have subsequently sold and won other prizes. The year's membership of the NZ Art Guild that came with the prize has opened up new and exciting opportunities, as well as much-needed contact with, and much-appreciated support and encouragement from, many fellow artists throughout New Zealand."
 Elspeth Alix Batt

"Just to be part of the NZ Art Guild Art Awards and being a finalist was such a buzz for me, sort of vindicated to me that I wasn't wasting my time painting. Since being in the guild Ive had soo much more confidence to enter more exhibitions and competitions and having the opportunity to show my art at the dedicated venues (ALBANY & the MERCURE HOTEL) then organising my own exhibition at a locl cafe KAVA is soooo great. THANKS SOOOO MUCH..."
