Welcome to our site.

  The Cheshire Art League was organized in 1959.

  We encourage "art appreciation" through demonstrations in painting, drawing techniques and the  use of different media. The Art League is dedicated to individual and community awareness of the Arts and how they reflect and affect our culture. The Art League also provides information regarding the business side of being an artist. We provide a meeting place to encourage camaraderie, and and the possibility of earnings through sales of members' art.

It's a great way to meet artists from other communities and often initiate new friendships based on a common interest.

The Art League is an indicator to verify to members they are serious artists.

Meetings are free an open to the public
