our mission
To create a thriving arts community through education, outreach and opportunities. This means that our task is somewhat two-fold: to serve our artists/crafts people and to outreach to our community.
Everything we do at MWCA is filtered through those two goals:
1 -- To bring the beauty, vibrancy and healing nature of art to our entire community
2 -- Support the vital work of local artists and crafts people in Walton County.

our artist-members
ART is at the heart of everything we do here at MWCA.
Our artist-members — The Art Guild — are the vital center (the heart!) of all that we do here.
Whether you are an accomplished artist or just getting started on your journey — at whatever age! — we welcome you.
The Guild is a group of artists who enjoy sharing their passion with others. Check our calendar for specific member-only meetings, plus other events such as museum visits!
As a member of the Guild, you will be part of a community that is intentional about experiencing art on a personal and professional level.
