The Elmhurst Artists’ Guild, one of the oldest and foremost guilds in Chicago’s western suburbs, was incorporated in 1946. The first Guild meeting was held in Ms. Jane Duncan’s Art & Gift Shop at 551 Spring Road in Elmhurst.

From this humble beginning, the Guild has continued to grow through monthly meetings, artist demonstrations, and local exhibits.
