Mission
To challenge, educate, engage, and enhance our community through visual art and the advancement of local artists.
Vision
The Lexington Art League envisions a world where art, artists, and art-making are central to human inspiration, self-realization, and meaning.
History
The Lexington Art League (LAL) is a contemporary visual art center located at the geographic and culture intersection of the American South and Midwest. Committed to building a world where art, artists, and art-making flourish among local, regional and national communities. LAL provides free quality contemporary art programming, including exhibitions, youth education and outreach programs, artists conversations, community tours, and more.
Founded in 1957, LAL has radically evolved beyond the parameters of traditional art leagues. While keeping the core of the art league model - a robust membership deeply committed to the value of visual art in contemporary life - LAL embraces 21st century approaches to curatorial programming, community building, place-making, art education, and outreach to underserved communities. LAL's slogan, "Art for Everyone," reflects the organizations commitment to providing multiple access points for patrons to experience visual art.
