The Lexington Art League Members’ Biennial  is a biennial exhibition of art that has been created by our members. Every two years we take the opportunity to highlight our creative and talented members with an exhibition which takes over all of the exhibition space in the historic Loudoun House. The League was founded in 1957 as a member-driven organization and we are continuing this tradition 65 years later. If you are a member and you make art, this is your chance to share it with all of us. The goal is to stuff the galleries to the gunwales with art in a celebration of our creative members.
