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'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.
