Welcome to the Parkland Art League

About Us

The Parkland Art League is a group of artists whose objectives are: to encourage friendship among persons interested in art, to awaken and sustain their interest in art and to exhibit the art of our members. In addition we offer the public the opportunity to purchase original art. Members are provided opportunities to advance their skills by offering a lending library of instructional DVDs, having exceptional artist demonstrators at monthly meetings and hosting workshops taught by artists who excel in their craft. CLUB HISTORY

Upcoming Events and Meetings

Opening Receptions at Stony Run Winery, November 5, 5-7 pm and at Blue Mountain Vineyard October 24, 4-6pm.

Critique Night at our next meeting, November 11, 7pm

Our ever popular critique night will feature YOUR ART WORK! Have a question about something in your piece that doesn't feel quite right, but you can't put your finger on what it is??? Have some fresh eyes take a peek to get you to the finish line!

Bring your Still Lifes, Landscapes, Portraits in progress or completed.

Our very own Jill Stanley and Rita Richetti will offer insight and ideas.

Critique night is fun and informative for all. No stiff upper lips are needed!

Anyone wanting to self-nominate themselves to a position on the board for open positions, its election night.
