The Delaware Artist’s Guild (DAG) is diverse group of over 50 artists and art enthusiasts. Founded in 1975, the DAG has continued a mission to provide information and encouragement to artists in the area. The DAG does this with monthly meetings which feature visiting artists, hosting educational workshops, travel opportunities to regional museums, and by sponsoring opportunities for members to exhibit their work.
We encourage visitors to check out our website, events, and exhibits. We also would like to extend the invitation for you to sit in on a meeting of your choice. You do not have to be a member to attend these functions. However, we are always looking for new members. The DAG welcomes beginners, professionals, business owners, or just fans of art to become apart of our guild. Please click on our membership page to learn more about the people that make up this amazing group, and what benefits you gain when you become a member. Thanks for visiting with us! Come back soon!

Jonathon Quick
Adjunct Associate Professor, Ohio Wesleyan Univeristy
B.A. SUNY Genesco, M.F.A. SUNY New Paltz
Jon Quick, who joined the department in 1988, teaches sculpture, 3D design, and serves the art department as studio technician. Previously, he was a resident artist at Peters Valley, New Jersey, and had worked as an industrial designer in the Boston area. He served as a teaching faculty member at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, Deer Isle, Maine, Summer 1993.
He currently runs his own art and architectural design business. In sculpture, he primarily works in the media of foundry casting and metal fabrication. "I knew from an early age that I wanted to work physically (hands on) with materials. Sculpture is a field that incorporates a vast range of materials and processes, old and new technologies. What could be more perfect ! My life’s journey is one of unbounded adventure and discovery. In my work I investigate various themes of the human condition with a sense of humor and empathy in an attempt to expose the true nature of our shared experience."
