Artist Opportunities

Our Opportunities

The Lexington Art League's dedication to providing opportunities for artists reflects its current mission statement dedicated to supporting local and regional art. Some of our calls for art are limited to monthly and annual members of the Lexington Art League. Through monetary support these members also keep each exhibition and event free and open to the public.

Woodland Art Fair

The 2020 Woodland Art Fair is the Lexington Art League's premiere event. This year marks the 45th year the Woodland Art Fair has been held. The Woodland Art Fair has received several national, regional & local honors including being voted a Top 200 Fine Art & Design Show in the nation in 2007-2019 by Sunshine Artist Magazine, a Top 20 Event by The Southeast Tourism Society and a Top 10 Festival by The Kentucky Travel Industry Association.

Herself 
Call for Art, Group Exhibition

Herself is a visual art group exhibition by Kentucky artists whose work explores the female experience and/or experiences of femininity. This exhibition is simultaneously a celebration of women, an open visual investigation of femininity, and an opportunity to voice social and political pressures on women today.

Gift Shop - Call for Consignments

The Lexington Art League is launching its first ever permanent Local Art Store this November. The store will occupy the prominent Woolfolk Gallery on the main level of the historic Loudoun House and will be open to the public during all exhibition receptions and gallery hours, which are always free to attend. 

Artist and Curator Opportunities - Call For Exhibitions

We accept proposals for solo and group exhibitions by artists and curators of local artwork in the greater Lexington area for 2021 for our individual galleries. Proposals will be accepted by KY visual artists who are current members of the Lexington Art League. Priority will be given to artists from Lexington and adjoining counties. Current Lexington Art League membership is required for exhibition proposals to be considered.

Alternative Project Space Proposal - Call to Artists

The Lexington Art League has occupied the historic and dynamic Loudoun House since 1984. Instep with our renewed mission to serve local artists, we have identified new opportunities for local artists to activate a couple of our smaller, more intimate, and underutilized alternative spaces of the Loudoun House - the tower, and the back staircase landing toward the attic.
