Artist Groups and Meetups Across Long Beach and Orange County
The Guild is building a network of local artist groups, illustrator communities, photography meetups and writers groups across Long Beach and North Orange County, for people who want serious conversation, not just an audience.
Artist meetups, not networking events
An artist meetup should feel like a studio visit, not a business mixer. Guild gatherings are small, in-person and focused on the work, your work, our work and the work we are learning from.
Fine art, illustration, photography, writing
Whether you are a fine artist looking for an artist community in Long Beach, an illustrator searching for a creative collective in Orange County, a photographer who wants to be in a room with peers or a writer building a serious workshop, the Guild has space for you.
Creative workshops in Long Beach
The Guild hosts occasional creative workshops in Long Beach and Orange County, including prompt engineering for artists, drawing fundamentals, photography critique and discussion-based reading groups.
