Muddy Creek Art Guild hosted it's 3^rd Annual Holiday Art Show!
Dec. 1-4 & 8-11, 2011 Gifts from the Arts

Muddy Creek Artists Guild brought the joy of the season to Edgewater at its biggest show of the year. Over 60 participants, including new members, represented all popular media as the organization took over the former Blockbuster at South River Colony’s Main Street for the eight-day display. The 3000 square feet location was transformed into a holiday gallery and offered the best collection of local art from Southern Anne Arundel County.

Our 2nd Annual Fall "Harvest of Artists" Show was a Great Success! Hosted by Greenstreet Gardens in Lothian on September 16, 17, 18, 2011, featuring over 60 Muddy Creek Artists.

Muddy Creek Artists Guild Celebrated its 2nd Anniversary in Galesville with it's
"Artist's on the Half Shell" gallery show
featuring ""Freshly Shucked Chesapeake Pearls”
on June 3-5 at the Galesville Memorial Hall.

Many local artists, including several new members, displayed their painting, photography, sculpture, jewelry, pottery, textiles and works in other media. The gallery show combined traditional art with the “eclectic originality” portrayed by some Guild members. Many of the works were from The Chesapeake Bay Collection highlighting artwork specifically influenced by living near the Bay.

This year the show was professionally judged and the Golden Oyster Shell was awarded to James O'Neil for his metal sculpture, best in show.

The Guild held a special reception to announce its first annual Art Scholarship winners.
From Southern Senior High School, the winner was Louis Fratino, and from South River High School the winner was Jessica Terneus.
The two winners also exhibited examples of their work.

	Returning to South River Crossing, once again the Guild took over an empty storefront and established an elegant gallery full of gifts guaranteed to brighten anyone's holiday. 2010 Gift from the Arts was a rousing success with over 70 of our 120+ members exhibiting.

Once again returning to Galesville Memorial Hall, our 2010 Harvest of Artists show was a rousing success with almost 60 of our 110 artists participating in three days of exhibition.
