Home for the Arts
The Visual Art League of Lewisville (VAL) is an all-volunteer organization with members who share an interest in the visual arts and fine crafts. We organize multiple member shows each year, provide local artists the opportunity to showcase their work, produce visiting artist lectures, networking with other organizations, educational art activities such as demonstrations and hands-on projects, and participate in various community events. VAL is very involved in serving and enriching our community through art-viewing experiences in a local setting, supporting the schools in their visual arts programs, and collaborating with other non-profit groups to serve our community. The Visual Art League welcomes membership into our group and is excited to have you participate in our activities and visit our exhibits. Membership includes artists, students, educators, and art patrons wanting to support the local arts community. Members provide docents to Lewisville’s Grand Theater Gallery and volunteer for other events. The Visual Art League is proud to be sponsored in part by the City of Lewisville.

VAL MONTHLY MEETING
January 2025
Guest speaker Randall Garrett will be presenting, "In Search of a Character and a Story."
He will convey his creative journey, from a childhood roaming the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas, to his most recent experience of living seven years in Mexico, and something about all the strange and wonderful spaces, people, and experiences he has encountered along the way.
In that journey, he found his reason for being here, to find and share of himself through creative expression, as a way of navigating the strangeness of life and connecting with others.
Garrett will talk about how he has learned to frame all of this experience of living through the concepts of storytelling and cinematography, with the hope that those who attend will be inspired to see their own lives as a story they too will cherish.
How, as he says, "Life itself is like some type of grand narrative or film, sometimes epic and others mundane, a story one is telling to oneself, even as you live it."
Event Details:
· This event is free and open to the public.
· Visual Art League of Lewisville members are encouraged to bring a piece of artwork for the Artist of the Month. First and second place awards will be given.
· Non-members and guests are welcome to attend and learn more about the Visual Art League of Lewisville! Artists of all skill levels and visual art mediums are welcome.
VAL'S VISITING ARTISTS WORKSHOPS
Figure Drawing and Painting in Oil Workshop With Barbara Hack
In this three-day workshop, we will spend the first day drawing from a live model, starting with gestures and warm-ups and then moving on to longer poses. We will also spend two days painting the full figure and concentrating on anatomy, form, and proportion.
Barbara Hack is an award-winning artist living in the Dallas
area. , Barbara’s subject matter reflects her love for figurative
work and the challenge accompanying realistic portraiture.
Working predominantly in painting mediums, she aims,
however, to push beyond realism and capture resonant
moments in time.
