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!

Upcoming Meeting:

Jason Lucas is a photographer who currently lives and works in Chillicothe, Ohio. Originally from Chesapeake, Ohio, Jason moved to Los Angeles at the age of seventeen, where he developed a fascination with the psychological and social impacts of design and architecture, with a special interest in language, context, boundaries, and liminal zones. He began shooting in 1992 at the age of 16, and always had a camera lying around somewhere, but began devoting the majority of his day to making photos after moving back to Ohio in 2008.
Jason has exhibited work at Kosmos Lane Gallery in Tokyo, Japan, the Brooklyn Art Library in New York City, Blank Gallery in Huntington, West Virginia, Ohio University’s Patricia Scott Gallery in Chillicothe, Ohio, Marshall University’s Gallery 842 in Huntington, West Virginia, and City Art Center in Delaware, Ohio. His images have appeared on the covers of Pine Mountain Sand & Gravel and Dharma/Arte Magazine, and he was a participating artist in Art House Co-Op’s A Million Little Pictures exhibit, which toured the U.S. during Fall 2011. His 2010 photobook, All Of This Can Be Broken, is part of the permanent collections of the Indie Photobook Library in Washington, D.C. and Booklet Library in Tokyo, Japan. His work appears regularly in Hillbilly Magazine.
