Gathering of the Guilds - Show

Gathering of the Guilds - Show

The Gathering of the Guilds (GOTG) is one of the largest art shows in the Northwest. Six Guilds and hundreds of artists come together to display and sell their custom made and unique creations at Oregon Convention Center. The Guild has the largest booth in the show and this is our biggest community event of the year. We use this large gathering to showcase our skills as woodworkers and the benefits the Guild can bring to the community and recruit new members. 

We have our sales booth and we have a small demonstration area adjacent to the booth. In the booth, we talk to the customers and answer their questions. You will get questions about our products or about the Guild. It's fun and can be fast paced. We will have at least one person as cashier to handle the money (mostly credit cards). We also need two people to do the demonstrations, which are usually making bags from shaving of aromatic cedar using a handplane. This is a good activity for people visiting our booth, especially kids, to experience some woodworking.  

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are implementing additional safety requirements for Guild events. Before you arrive for your scheduled session, please ensure the following:

• You are in good health and not living with anyone who is ill with COVID-19 or experiencing symptoms of a respiratory infection.  
• You are following the CDC guidelines if you have tested positive for COVID-19 or have been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.
