About the Guild

Founded in 1963, the Terrebonne Fine Arts Guild began as a small group dedicated to enriching Terrebonne Parish through art and cultural outreach. Today, it has blossomed into a thriving community that welcomes artists and art lovers from surrounding parishes, uniting them through a shared passion for creativity.

Downtown Art Gallery 630, established in 1979, serves as a dynamic hub for the visual arts, offering inspiring exhibitions, engaging art classes for all ages, and hands-on community involvement. The gallery proudly showcases local talent and supports budding artists by collaborating with schools to host a parish-wide student art competition, fostering a love for art in our future generations.
