Network & Prosper
The Fine Art Trade Guild Regional Network
A good network is vital for business development. It can open up a wealth of opportunities including access to local support, funding, unadvertised jobs and the chance to make new contacts and share ideas.
The Fine Art Trade Guild recognises the value of networking and provides you with a variety of opportunities. Our 14 branches throughout the UK and four professional committees all give unrivalled opportunities for networking and influencing Guild policy. The Guild branches have Branch Masters to co-ordinate activity. The elected representatives serve on the Guild Court, as directors of the Guild.
We also have branches in Ireland and New Zealand and are constantly looking to grow. If you are not yet a member, you can join online or request a membership application pack through the post. Meeting people with a similar sphere of interest to your own offers excellent opportunities for sharing best practice. Our professional networks provide just such an opportunity.
Full contact details can be found by scrolling down. Members are welcome to attend events in any other branch than those based where they work. To see Branch pages, including meeting invitations and reports, members should log in and go to MyGuild Site
