About the Guild
Back to the Main Page
Chartered in 1974, the Atlanta Puppetry Guild is a part of the national Puppeteers of America organization. The guild is dedicated to bringing together artists, educators, librarians, hobbyists, professionals, and everyday people who share an interest in the art of puppetry. Current activities include potluck socials, field trips to view and discuss adult and family puppetry presentations, occasional workshops, and participation in the National Day of Puppetry on the last Saturday in April.
Members receive notifications of meetings, new newsletters, and other local puppetry events via e-mail. The cost of membership is $10 for an individual or $15 for a dual membership. The membership year runs from May 1st through April 30th.
The newsletter of the Atlanta Puppetry Guild is the Atlanta Puppet Press, which is published four times a year. New editions typically come out approximately one week before each guild meeting.
