As the original Guild members passed away, they bequeathed significant works of art to Guild founder Marie Goth. Upon her death in 1975, Marie left this historic collection to the Guild as the centerpiece of its permanent collection. Her gift also enabled the Guild to restore and expand the Minor House to better function as an art venue.

Recognized by the state of Indiana as a vital part of the historic and current center of art in Indiana, the Guild receives funding from various sources, including the generous patronage of people who value Indiana’s artistic heritage and culture.

For Guild Member Artist, Mary Rile, a poem or line of prose is often the genesis of a painting and animals the embodiment of that inspiration. “I attempt to capture an animal’s beauty and portray the creature’s iconic status.”

Mary's work is always on display (and for sale!) at the Guild and on our website: https://browncountyartguild.org/artists/current-artists/mary-riley/

In the late 1800s through early 1900s, the art world recognized Brown County, Indiana as a premier art colony. Many of the period’s leading artists captured breathtaking landscapes and pioneered new schools of artistic expression in the hills of southern Indiana.

In 1954, Marie Goth, V.J. Cariani, Carl Graf, Genevieve Goth Graf, C. Curry Bohm, Dale Bessire, Georges LaChance and ten other notable artists formed the Brown County Art Guild to preserve the caliber and camaraderie of the art colony while rooting their gallery in the broader community.
