OIAG's Story
Established 1992 - By Artists, For Artists
More than 30 years ago, town officials asked a group of local artists to offer free art classes to interested residents. The artists gathered to paint, share experiences, and critique one another’s work. As the group grew, founder Joyce Grazetti applied for nonprofit status, and the Oak Island Art Guild was formed. JoAnn and Dick Staat played an important role in promoting the arts within the organization and throughout the community. Today, the Guild continues to grow in membership and in its members’ creative development.
