At DuPage Art League, our mission is to provide the community with a creative learning center that encourages the exploration and appreciation of the visual arts. Our not-for-profit organization offers a variety of classes and workshops that cater to all ages and skill levels, so everyone can find something that piques their interest. We also host gallery exhibits and free public fine arts programs that allow our artists to show off their work in commercial and public buildings.
In addition, we provide financial endowments to public institutions of arts education and scholarships to students. These funds help ensure that everyone has the opportunity to express their creativity through the visual arts, regardless of their financial standing. Our aim is to cultivate a vibrant art culture in the community, and our scholarships and endowments are an important part of that mission.
At DuPage Art League, we believe that art should be accessible to everyone. We strive to make the visual arts an enriching and rewarding experience for all who take part in it, and we are proud to empower our community with the tools to explore and create.
