Rockford Art Guild (RAG) is collaborating with Nicholas Conservatory for another year with a new and exciting exhibit of more than 25 pieces of art. Nicholas Conservatory is located at 1354 N. Second Street, Rockford.
Artwork will be on display in the lobby from Tuesday, February 17th through March 8th, 2026. This event gives Rockford Art Guild’s artists an opportunity to share their many talents with the community.
The Rockford Art Guild (RAG) is a supportive and encouraging group of people who have a strong passion for the arts. Each member has opportunities to improve, explore, and challenge themselves in ways they would not find elsewhere. Guild members work together to increase the appreciation of art in the Rockford area. The goal is to provide education, growth, and show opportunities for our members, and for other artists in the community. Members work in a variety of media, including mosaic, beading, painting, pottery, sculpting, photography, woodworking, and more.
ARTISTS INFORMATION
To be a part of the Nicholas Conservatory show you need to be on our current roster and a member in good standing (dues up to date) of the Rockford Art Guild. The cost will be $10. This is a first come-first served show so you are wise to sign up early as we will cut off sign ups when we have reached the maximum number of pieces.
Artwork to be shown MUST NOT have been shown at this venue before. We reserve the right to not hang pieces that have been shown before at this venue. You may show pieces however from other shows you have done in the last year, just not at Nicholas. We do this to ensure that each one of our shows has fresh work so that viewers will be excited about seeing the show.
ANY ARTWORK SUBMITTED FOR THIS SHOW MUST REMAIN AT NICHOLAS FOR THE DURATION OF THE SHOW! If a piece of yours has a buyer and is from out of town, you may sell the piece, but you need to let me know first. Otherwise, you MAY NOT SUSTITUTE one piece for another because you want it to go to another show half way through this show. You need to decide if this show is something that you want your piece(s) in, so don’t sign up for this show if you don’t want to commit your artwork for the entire duration of the show! We will notify you of the hours for set-up.
SUBMISSION FOR NICHOLAS IS NOW CLOSED
