Collection Historical Note

Organized in January 1966, the North Dakota China Painters Guild promotes the fine art of china painting in all aspects. Guild members do this through individual and group effort by exchanging knowledge, ideas, experiences, and painting methods, as well as inspiring confidence in members. Most members come from eastern North Dakota. Each year the Guild holds a china show and the proceeds from these annual events are used to finance lessons and/or seminars taught by professionals once a month.
