Allied Arts Guild was founded in 1928 and is a complex of artist studios, shops, restaurant, and gardens in Menlo Park, California and is used as a venue for both public and private events. It is run by the Allied Arts Guild Auxiliary to provide funds for uncompensated care and special projects at the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital. In 1928, wealthy art lovers Delight and Garfield D. Merner of Hillsborough bought 3.5 acres (14,000 m2) of land at the edge of Menlo Park to create a center for craft production, having been inspired by craft guilds they had seen in Europe. They worked closely with architect Gardner Dailey and artist Pedro Joseph de Lemos to design a Spanish Colonial Revival-style complex, re-using some of the old farm buildings on the property. The Merners’ goals were "to provide a workplace for artists; to encourage the crafting of handsome objects for everyday use; and to support all peasant or folk art, especially that of early California."
