Welcome to the Visual Arts Guild at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts!
A special welcome to the parents and students joining us in the 2025-26 school year . We hope you'll consider a guild membership as a way to stay informed, connect with faculty, parents and students, and provide instant financial support for our scholar artists. Check out our membership levels, subscribe to our newsletter, and reach out if you have questions or comments. Mark your calendar for Saturday, April 12 for I Am Booker T Day. Look for more information on this annual event via email from the school. Welcome!
The Visual Arts Guild is a volunteer organization that supports the students and faculty in the Visual Arts Conservatory. We provide volunteer support, funding for teaching supplies and equipment, grants and scholarships for student enrichment, and hospitality for students, college reps and gallery show receptions.
All are welcome to join the Visual Arts Guild. Our basic membership is free and includes access to our weekly newsletter. A membership in the Visual Arts Guild is optional, but we recommend you consider a membership to take advantage of all the guild offers. There are several membership levels to choose from - and we're sure one is right for you!
|
The first step in your guild membership is to create a FREE account with Membership Toolkit (MTK). If you have a Membership Toolkit account with another organization (perhaps the BTWHSPVA PTSA or another PTO or PTA), you can use those credentials to log in here. |
Once you've created or accessed your MTK account, check out our membership levels and join today! We support ALL students and welcome ALL parents, guardians and supporters. By coordinating events and activities and providing additional resources, we hope our involvement helps the Visual Arts faculty focus on developing the talents of our students.
