JOIN VAL

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 there.  The Visual Art League is proud to be sponsored in part by the City of Lewisville.

Caleb Jacks is a working artist and high school art teacher. He has been teaching for 15 years and working as an artist for about the same amount of time.

Recently, he has started getting into "world-building" with dioramas. Caleb created the current murals over the north and south entrances at the Grand Theater.


Caleb will be talking about his journey as an artist and how he started working with murals, and lastly artists that have inspired him.  He will demonstrate how to draw and paint using Procreate, which can be purchased for the iPad or iPhone. Procreate it's one of his main tools for planning and creating.
