Prestige of being a part of a well established guild
Please comment on any recommendations for enhancement or revision of benefits.
The makeup of the Guild membership is primarily visual artists, crafts persons, libraries and show promoters.  In the past, however, the Guild’s mission included a broader scope of the artistic community, including performance artists, arts enthusiasts, students and educators.  What is your interest in returning to this broader scope?
I think it is a great idea.
I think it is an idea worth consideration, but I am not totally sold on it.
I think it could take away from the Guild’s purposes.
