Discover the many ways for artists and art lovers to get involved

Our Opportunities

The Lexington Art League's dedication to providing opportunities for artists and those who love art reflects its current mission statement dedicated to supporting local and regional art. Some of our opportunities 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.

EXHIBITION (FOR ARTISTS)

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

Alternative Project Space: The Lexington Art League has occupied the historic and dynamic Loudoun House since 1984. It’s primary spaces are activated with exhibitions and special events, community rooms, markets shops, workshops, artist studios and offices. 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. 

Gift Shop - Call for Consignments

The Lexington Art League just launched a Local Art Gift Shop. We offer consignment opportunities for unique arts and crafts from $1-$100.

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.
