About the Guild
Do you love to quilt, carve, weave, or paint? Do you have another skill? Are you a self-taught artist, or just interested in art? Come on out to the farmhouse at Three Sisters Park to meet fellow artists and have fun.

We're building a folk art school in Chillicothe and are looking to form partnerships with the many traditional and folk artists in central Illinois – like you! We'd like to get to know everyone and see samples of your art, and would love to hear your thoughts on teachers, artists, and how best to get the word out about our school.

Why Develop a Partnership?
Here's what we hope to do:

Bring area folk artists together to learn about each other, share knowledge and support.
Get your help and advice in the the development of Three Sisters Folk Art School.
Tap into your expertise about your art.

Interested?
That's great! To RSVP, email us at Info@ThreeSistersFolkArtSchool.com with your name and the art(s) you enjoy. Then meet us at the farmhouse at Three Sisters Park in Chillicothe, IL. We'll see you there!
