About Us

Greenville Art League

The Greenville Art League has been supporting artists in and around Hunt County, Texas since 1969.

We are comprised of members of various ages who work in a variety of art mediums and styles. Our group has seasoned artists with impressive lists of accomplishments, beginning artists that are just getting started, and non-artists who want to support the art community. We are funded by our members and supported by our member volunteers.

Our Mission

The Greenville Art League is an inclusive space where artists and creatives of all ages and skill levels are supported, encouraged, and inspired. We bring the Hunt County community together through visual art by offering opportunities for art education, connection, and serving the community through art.

Presentations and Demonstrations

Presentations are made on a wide variety of artistic topics, techniques, mediums, and styles. Some presentations are lecture style, some have an artist demonstrating their process for you to observe, while others discuss more of the techniques used and allow you to ask questions.

Some examples of past presentations that we have hosted are:

stained glass
pottery
palette knife painting
watercolor painting
wood turning

Business and Professional Topics

No matter one's style of art, we all have to attend to certain business, marketing, and social media issues if we want to be successful in selling or sharing our art.

Some topics that may be discussed are:

social media, websites, and online sales
sales tax and income tax considerations
assumed name certificates
how to photograph your art for displaying online and making prints

Juried Art Shows and Events

The Greenville Art League hosts juried art shows and pop-up art events throughout the year. These events may take place at a local business or city space such as the library. The city of Greenville supports the Greenville Art League by offering members a discounted booth fee to their annual Hunt County Festival of the Arts.

Studio Days

Studio Days allow members to bring their current art project and supplies to work on in a shared studio space. This allows collaboration, networking, encouragement, and input from other artists.

Art Gallery Displays

Art League members have the opportunity to display their work at a variety of businesses and public spaces throughout Greenville. In the past, these locations have included the library, banks, attorney's offices, the county tax office, local restaurants, and coffee shops.
