New Members 2023

Silvermine Arts Center welcomes 26 new members into its historic Guild of Artists, with this exhibition presenting innovative work in a variety of mediums and styles. Silvermine has been a place for artists to gather since 1906 when visionary sculptor Solon Borglum moved to the area and held annual exhibitions in his studio.

He created weekly artist critiques called the Knockers Club. Formed in 1922, The Silvermine Guild of Artists was incorporated in 1924 as a not-for-profit to provide a permanent and supportive community of artists.  Guild members represent artists that have a high level of accomplishment and are selected through a jurying process.

Since that time, Guild membership has grown to over 300 nationally and internationally exhibiting artists. Since its inception, guild membership has been a selective peer  jurying process. As a result, the guild has held its membership to high standards with many members having work represented in permanent collections of some of the world’s most prestigious museums, as well as prominent private and corporate collections. This exhibition offers visitors an opportunity to engage with the newest members of this dynamic community of professional artists and learn about their works.
