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 or support visual art is eligible 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 or support the arts, you can join. One great benefit of being a TAG member is you can exhibit your artwork in a true WORLD-CLASS gallery environment! Hours are Noon to 4:00 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Closed Sundays, Mondays and Holidays. NEXT MEETING - Monday night, February 17 at 7:30 at the TAG ART GALLERY. Board of Directors meets at 6 in the classroom.
