We create to explore, to share, to connect—and to see the world through new eyes.
​
The Art League of Germantown (ALOG) exists to support fine artists and fine crafters in every stage of their creative journey, while fostering a deeper appreciation of the visual arts within our community. Our members include professionals, emerging artists, dedicated hobbyists, and anyone who simply loves the beauty and power of visual expression.
​
The League began in the early 1980s when artist and teacher Lynne Oakes moved to Germantown, Maryland. Wishing to connect with other local artists, she shared her idea with a few of her students. Together, they envisioned a community where creativity could flourish. Lynne brought that vision to life, and in 1983, The Art League of Germantown held its first meeting—the beginning of a vibrant artistic tradition that continues to this day.
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.
