About Our Guild
Founded in 1975, the South Delta Artists Guild (SDAG) is a nonprofit, volunteer-driven organization dedicated to supporting visual artists across South Delta and beyond.
From our home at Gallery 1710 in Tsawwassen, we bring together artists of all levels to create, exhibit and grow together. Whether you’re new to art or have years of experience, the Guild provides a welcoming, inclusive space where your creativity is valued and your voice matters.
You may also see our artists’ work in small exhibits at Delta Hospital and Ladner and Tsawwassen libraries.

What People are Saying
Great space to buy an original piece of art. You will met the artist, the prices are good to start your art collection. You will always find a new exhibition !
My husband and I love to support the South Delta Artist Guild and Gallery 1710. With numerous shows each year, the SDAG does a wonderful job offering a variety of art in a community atmosphere, while showcasing both new and established artists. We attend as many shows as we can and continue to enjoy the pieces we have purchased over the years!
