LaGrange Art League Gallery
The La Grange Art League is home to a beautiful gallery space at the front of our building, showcasing the work of talented local artists. Each artist has been juried in by our professional team, ensuring a diverse collection of high-quality artwork.
Our gallery features a wide variety of mediums, including watercolor, pastel, acrylic, oil painting, collage, jewelry, pottery, encaustic, woodworking, and fiber arts. With new pieces added regularly, there is always something fresh and inspiring to discover.
We are always excited to welcome new artists into our growing creative community.
