All events are free and open to the public.
Its mission, from the beginning, has been to support the parent organization by designing high-quality visual art exhibits in the building's main gallery while also acquainting Washington area visual artists and art professionals with the Arts Workshop. Notable national visual artists and curators such as Sam Gilliam, Willem de Looper, and Franz Bader signed on as judges in the Art League's first season, and this tradition of excellence endures today. Serious working artists come to the Art League because they are given the opportunity to meet the most influential gallery owners, artists, and curators working in Washington today. Historically, the Art League and the Arts Workshop have always had an excellent working relationship. The Art League has also continually promoted Arts Workshop classes and events to its membership through its newsletters, brochures, and at membership events such as the Gallery Talks.
