The Art League is a nonprofit organization that has provided various art-related services to the community since its opening in 1954. It is made up of a gallery, a school, a store and various art programs, including a fellowship for artists. The public can visit the gallery to see unique exhibitions by talented professional artists. The Art League School, which focuses on crafts and fine arts, caters to everyone from beginners to more skilled artists.
