Art League of Germantown
We Create for Countless Reasons
Our purpose is to further the careers of fine artists and fine crafters and to bring an appreciation of these arts to the community. Our members include professional and amateur artists and crafters and all those who love the visual arts.
Early in the 1980's Lynne Oakes moved to Germantown, Maryland. She wished for a way to connect with other artists. She mentioned this to a few of her art students, and during their conversations the vision of The Art League of Germantown was created. Being first of all an artist, Lynne immediately began to paint this vision into reality. In 1983 The Art League of Germantown held its first meeting.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
I had a large circle of artist friends and resources in my former hometown, but when we moved I had no one with whom to talk "shop." Being an artist can sometimes be an isolated existence, and sharing ideas and resources, asking questions, getting feedback is necessary not only to continue but also to grow.
The chance to exhibit your artwork is always one of the most important things to an artist, and the Art League of Germantown provides this opportunity. All members are welcomed to participate, and we all enjoy the variety that this presents.
I joined the Art League of Germantown, and the variety of programs presented and mediums used by our members kept me coming back. Would you like to take your art from avocation to vocation? Several members have done this with success.
