The Guild owns and operates the Off Track Gallery, 937 South Coast Highway 101, Suite C-103, in the Lumberyard Shopping Center, behind St. Tropez and Starbucks, Encinitas. The Guild also offers monthly hands-on art demos at the Encinitas Library for a nominal material charge. One of the major fund-raisers each year is their very-popular Mother’s Day Weekend Art, Studio and Garden Tour. Tickets will be available starting April 1 both at the gallery and on-line.
