 Kernersville Arts & Crafts Guild
Guild History
In 1974, a group of individuals taking painting classes through Forsyth Tech asked their instructor Virginia Barrow to help them start an Arts and Crafts guild in Kernersville. Virginia was a member of the Winston-Salem Arts and Crafts Guild, and contacted Ozzie Ozborne (no, not that one) for assistance. A meeting was set up in the Kernersville Library and 38 people attended. With guidance from Ozzie three formative meetings were held and, on May 22 1975, the first formal KACG meeting was held with Becky Mohlar elected as President of the non-profit Kernersville Arts and Crafts Guild. Only 2 charter members, Anita Berrier (who also designed the KACG logo) and Phyllis Lennon are still active.
The KACG holds several shows a year in Kernersville, including the annual Spring Folly, Christmas in July, Fall Craft Show, and the very popular Christmas store.
If you would like to apply for membership to the guild, please fill out the form found on the applications page. We invite all applicants for membership to a screening by the KACG board to ensure high standards and quality of the product. We promote creativity, excellence, and diversity in our membership.
Thank you for visiting the KACG website, we encourage you to also visit the websites of our members on our links page. We would love to have you to attend our shows, so please come by our website often to check our schedule of events. We hope to see you soon and don't forget to check us out on Face Book!
