Dual Vision: Art Through Different Eyes – A collaboration between local Artists and Photographers. Artists recreate original artwork from the inspiration of a selected photograph.
As a reminder to longtime members and as an explanation for new members, since 2017, the Guild has collaborated with the local photo club now known as Lake Country Photograhy Club for this event. The photographers will bring stunning photographs to our May 9 monthly Guild meeting, and Guild member artists of all mediums will create art inspired by those photographs. Four months later, we will have the Big Reveal at our September 12 monthly Guild meeting. Artists and photographers stand together to explain their inspirations and share their artistry.
Dual Vision: Opening Reception – Thursday, Sept. 18
The Guild will host a fabulous reception at historic Barrel 118 at which the photos and the artwork will be displayed for sale on Thursday, September 18, 2025, from 5:00 to 7:30. We have the public vote during the Reception and award a Peoples’ Choice for favorite photo and favorite piece of artwork. After a long weekend at Barrel 118, the photos and artwork are moved to The Artisans Village Art Gallery, 110 W. Marion Street, Eatonton. This show is not a competition, and there is no fee to participate, although you must be a current member of the photo club or the Guild to participate.

What Can you Create?
All mediums are encouraged: painting, sculpture, jewelry, pottery, mosaics, textiles, gourds, weaving, etc… You create whatever the photograph inspires in you. If you are a painter, you are not obligated to recreate the photo, although you are welcome to do that, too! See the link to the Rules and Guidelines for Artists below.
If you are a photographer in the Guild, have not contributed photos already through membership in the photo club, and want to participate, please plan to bring photos for Guild members to consider. Remember, if a photo is selected, the Guild member will take it with them in May, and you will be responsible for providing an 8×10 matted print of the photo for the reveal, show, and exhibition.
