- Guild members will be invited to show and sell their work at Brookgreen Gardens twice a year at the Art Festival in June and the Harvest Home Festival in October. All members may display their work at these sales. Artists also may be selected (after applying to Keepsakes) to have their own booths at the June Art Festival and sell their work there.
