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.

The annual PRHBTN Exhibition is coming up soon! With its no-holds-barred ethos PRHBTN has distinguished itself as one of the the most popular and diverse annual exhibition in the state. Deadline to apply is September 5th.

Alternative Project Space Proposal - Call to Artists

The Lexington Art League has occupied the historic and dynamic Loudoun House since 1984.

​Proposals are accepted all year.
