The League of Milwaukee Artists
juried exhibition
On view: June 1–July 28, 2011
Reception: July 7, 5:30–7:00 pm
The League of Milwaukee Artists formed in 1947 as a visual arts organization whose purpose was to bring together sincere creative artists for the mutual advancement of its members and its works, and to promote interest, appreciation and understanding of art in Milwaukee. In the 1950s the League became the first art group in the midwest to hold outdoor art fairs. Since then the League has become a staple in the Wisconsin arts community and has become a resource for many outstanding Milwaukee area painters. There are over 150 members doing a diverse array of two-dimensional work from a four county area. The League has promoted art through exhibition and fairs since the 1940s in southeastern Wisconsin and has exhibited in such venues as the Museum of Wisconsin Art, The Cedarburg Cultural Center, and the Charles Allis Art Museum.
The exhibition at the Wilson Center will feature over 30 juried members. Selected works will include drawing, oil painting, watercolor, and acrylics.
