Artwork must be dropped off and picked up during the designated weekend of the last Friday of each month. Please refer to the La Grange Art League 2026 Exhibit Calendar below for the exact drop-off and pick-up dates for each exhibition.

It is the artist’s responsibility to pick up their artwork at the end of each exhibition. Artwork must be collected during the scheduled pick-up period unless arrangements have been made with LGAL.

Any artwork that is not picked up within 30 business days of the regularly scheduled pick-up date will become the property of the La Grange Art League (LGAL).

Please plan accordingly and make arrangements for your artwork to be collected on time.
