General

How do I order current and past editions of the Sourcebook?
To order current and past editions, visit www.artfulhome.com and do a keyword search for "Guild Sourcebooks."
Are the Sourcebooks juried?
Yes. Leading industry experts have juried every artist featured. The integrity of Guild Sourcebooks is one of the key reasons these directories have been the industry standard since 1986. All artists included meet strict criteria for experience, quality of work, professionalism of images, and strong desire to participate in projects like yours.
I found a piece in the Sourcebook that I am interested in purchasing. How do I find out if it is available?
Contact the artist directly to see if the work you are interested in is available. Keep in mind that if it is not, the artist may be willing to create something similar.
I've tried contacting an artist using the info at the top of their Sourcebook page but the phone is disconnected, the email bounced back, or their website no longer works.
It is possible that the artist moved or changed their contact information since the book was published. To get current contact info, call or email us at 800-930-1856 or tradeinfo@guild.com.
