The Natchitoches Art Guild was created in 1980 as a non-profit organization designed to promote art and local artists within the historic community. In 1992, members of the Guild founded the Natchitoches Art Guild Gallery to display works by area artists.

Today, the Natchitoches Art Guild and Gallery exists as a co-operative where members volunteer to work in and maintain the space. The Gallery is funded primarily by state and local grants, membership dues, patron contributions, and a small percentage of sales.

Gallery hours are 8 am-4:30 pm Monday-Thursday and 8 am-noon Fridays.
