The Guild takes on many opportunities to further the arts in our community. Please feel free to contact us if you see anything you'd like to be involved in!

Playdates

Lets Make PLARN (plastic yarn) Free to attend. Creating to reimagine plastic bags helps our whole community ! And it is fun to create with like-minded individuals. All supplies are provided We are looking for volunteers to turn plastic bags into yarn and if PLARN sparks your interest there are weaving opportunities as well. Come and go as your schedule permits.

Art Break Day

Art Break Day is when the whole world can stop and make art! Our Guild sets up fun projects at local shops like Fireflies Pottery Studio and now at the Onslow Council for the Arts. Throughout the day, our volunteers assist members of our community with making art with the supplies we provide, at NO cost to the community!

Jacksonville Jamboree

CCAC Guild provides hundreds of Upcycle project kits made available for free to everyone interested in trying something new at the annual Jacksonville Jamboree. We will assist in the final assembly of these kits to encourage recycling and to inspire reimagining items they would typically toss in the trash. Separate workstations under a large tent, offering different projects the entire event.

Art Camps for Kids

Our Guild loves the opportunity to encourage students to create and our themed Art Camps provides ways for students to express their talents.

Spring Break Art Camp March 30th - April 2nd 2015

The theme of the Spring Break Art Camp was Woodland Fairies. Kids made fairy houses, transportation, services, and the fairies themselves, an ogre mine, waterfall, rivers, roads, and crowns for themselves over the course of 1 fun-filled creative week at the Onslow Pines Park.

February 16, 2015 Art Camp

Painted chairs for Chair-ity was the featured project at the Feb 16 Art Camp at Onslow Pines Park. Students learned to work as a team on a chair, they created paper beads for bracelets and necklaces, the minion snack jars were definitely one-of-a-kind, mosaics using egg shells glistened with metallic paint, the origami dragonfly took on different colors using magazine pages, and the stories written by the students about their day was enlightening.

The wonderful volunteers that made this Art Camp a success beginning with the donation of chairs from Nadine Miller & Nancy Lloyd, the set up by Andrei Yournet and Rhonda Hallet. During the full day we had very patient and caring volunteers: Adriana and Euphony(sp?) along with Brook and Brianna. Rhonda Hallet did an amazing job with opening exercise and kept the ball rolling with filler projects during the day. She mastered the origami dragonfly -- that saved the afternoon along with writing a story about their day. Great job.

The painted chairs will be sealed with Polyacrlyclic and then delivered to the Arts Council for the fund raiser Chair-ity which takes place on April 18 during Art Block Look forward to seeing you all again

Donation of 50 Paper Seed Hearts- Feb 5th, 2015

Bras for a Cause Brunch Sept 27th, 2014

The Coastal Carolina Artsists and Crafters Guild is proud to be a part of Bras for a Cause. Anyone- artist or not- can create a bra that is donated to the guild, and then voted on at events or sold, and all profits are given to Southeastern Cancer Care. These photos are from an auction we hosted. We reached out for survivors to be models, who wore all black with the bra over top, and they walked the runway at the Commons while guests bid on the bras and had brunch. We had our very own CCACG member Vox as DJ, Katherine Photographing, and as always, Laura behind the scenes organizing!
