Guelph Creative Arts Association started in 1948 as an association of existing art and craft guilds. It was provincially chartered in 1956. Members range from interested onlookers to local people working in a variety of materials and techniques. Oils, watercolour, acrylics, assorted drawing methods, print making and film are some of the media used in two-dimensional art, while textiles, metal, clay, glass etc. may become three-dimensional tactile items of decoration and/or utility. Members identify with all categories of artists and artisans, whether professional or amateur, and encourage participation for the enjoyment of both creators and viewers.
