Welcome...
Since its
inception in 1985, the Dublin Area Art League’s
membership has steadily grown and represents
many varied talents. The group includes artists
from beginners to professionals. While we have
some full-time artists, the majority of our
members work in other fields. We offer a
convenient, friendly way for them to develop
their talents, meet with other artists and keep
an interest in creating visual arts. We are
open to any age and any level of ability.
We meet once a
month on the 2nd Thursday at the Dublin Public
Library. The meetings are held from September
through
May from 6:30 – 9:00 PM. Our programs have been
demonstrations or talks by various artists,
slide shows, critiques or live models from which
we can create new masterpieces!
In May, we are
hosting an art reception and awards ceremony for
the 2009 Dublin Art Calendar Contest on May 1st
(see "Events" page) and will have a regular
meeting on May 8th. Angela Gage, oil
painter and instructor, will be our speaker.
Besides two
juried shows held in October and April, the
League offers several other opportunities to
exhibit member’s work. Each month a different
member is allowed to show their work at the
exhibition space at the Dublin Community
Recreation Building at 5600 Post Road. Sometimes the
League has theme shows if there is a month open.
Several local shops rotate an artist's work too
like Starbucks and The Winemaker's Guild.
We work in tandem with the Historic Dublin
Business Association to exhibit and display
outdoors during several events outlined below.
New this year is
the introduction of "A Celebration of Local
Art", a Dublin Art Fair to be held on Saturday
July 19th. Entry forms and information
will be forthcoming soon. Four different Art
Leagues and many individual artists will
comprise the festival. The location is to
be on the front lawn area of Indian Run
Elementary School from noon to 8 PM.
