New year, new logo!
The Chewelah Arts Guild has a shiny new logo designed by local artist Traci Manley and paid for by funds provided by the CARES Act Relief Grant which we received in 2020. This new brand which prints clearly will be used in many applications including signage, newspaper advertising, note cards, letterhead stationary and brochures. We are grateful for Traci's creative talent, guidance and patience during the process of choosing a great new logo for the Guild.
We are not discarding our gorgeous vintage logo which was a design imagined and created by local artist Narada Carter many years ago! Both of our logos will be around for years to come.
