Voted the BEST Art School and Art Gallery in Nassau County for the 7th year in a row!
"Great school, great staff and great teachers!
The Art Guild is a very warm and friendly place. After taking many art classes elsewhere, this class is my favorite by far. I have already signed up for the next session and can’t wait to start. Everybody who works at The Art Guild couldn’t be more helpful and friendly!!! It is a VERY well run school that I am proud to be a member of.”

Your Visual Arts Center
The Art Guild of Port Washington, Inc., is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. As Nassau County’s (Long Isand’s) premier community visual arts center, we serve as a hub for local artists, students and families to broaden their creative pursuits. We are located at the Elderfields Preserve in Manhasset on the North Shore of Long Island. Our door is always open to the advancement of the visual arts for people of all ages and demographics. Consider a donation so that we can continue to support the arts in our community.
The Art Guild is a non-profit visual arts center.
We offer an amazing array of weekly classes and short workshops for adults, teens and children in person and online for all levels. Whatever your interest – watercolors, oils, drawing, photography – we can help you develop your artistic skills and release your creativity. Classes and workshops are small and personalized, and our instructors are all professional teachers and artists, some local and others from far corners of the world.
We host 9 Gallery shows per year, with juried competition and exhibits, where you can showcase your work. Our gallery and activities are held at the Elderfields Preserve in the oldest building in Nassau County. We would love to have you creating art with us!
