Creating Experiences

The Franklin County Arts Guild is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that promotes the visual and performing arts in Franklin County and the surrounding region.

The Guild provides member artists an opportunity to exhibit and sell their works through the The Artisan Depot Gallery & Gift Shop in downtown Cowan, Tennessee. Through its relationship with local communities, chambers of commerce, and other arts organizations, the Guild extends the reach of member artists to new audiences.

One of the ways the Franklin County Arts Guild actively promotes the arts within the community is by hosting Community Art Shows at the Artisan Depot. Each show is themed, and any artist can put work in the show; membership or fees are not required. There are several shows each year with artists of all ages participating.

Members of the Guild also have special shows of their work, rotating through the Artisan Depot several times each year, and the Depot's Student Gallery exhibits artwork by students from area school classes K through 12.

An Eclectic Collective

The Franklin County Arts Guild and its gallery are run by its members who volunteer their time for the benefit of all. From keeping the gallery open, hanging shows, and putting together refreshments for openings to handling the books, website design, sending out postcards, volunteers do it all. What skills can you lend to promoting the arts?

​​The Guild works to promote and provide art education and awareness for all ages. The Franklin County Arts Guild also provides a scholarship for a promising high school senior planning to study art or art education at the university level.
