The Many Ways to Sponsor
The Lexington Art League

The Lexington Art League launched an exciting new exhibition program in 2020 which employs our beautiful gallery spaces in a whole new way. In addition, we have incorporated new programs and services, such as our critique nights and the Shop.
As a charitable organization, we need to build a community of sponsors to make these goals a reality. If you or your organization support the League’s work, and if you enjoy the vibrancy that art brings to our city, we encourage you to become a sponsor.  
Sponsors can support the Lexington Art League with direct gifts and/or in-kind donations.
