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 groups, educational art activities such as demonstrations, and hands-on projects, and participate in other 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 or visit our exhibits. Membership includes artists, students, educators, and those art advocates 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.

VAL ART TALKS
James Thurman
James Thurman is an Associate Professor of Metalsmithing & Jewelry at the University of North Texas’ College of Visual Arts & Design. He received his MFA in Metalsmithing from the Cranbrook Academy of Art. In 2012 and 2016, he was a Fulbright Specialist Scholar in Istanbul, Turkey. A highly active studio artist for over twenty-five years, he is well-known for ThurmaniteÒ, a recycled paper and bio-resin composite material that he developed and trademarked. His recent work is focused on combining ThurmaniteÒ with metal spinning, pewter, and miniature painting techniques. He believes each of his artworks becomes a distillation of playful problem-solving, encouraging and inspiring others to open themselves to the joys of passionate creativity.
James will be sharing with us the evolution of his current body of work. His presentation will include finished pieces along with materials and process examples. James recently did a TedX Talk "What Do You Want To Be?" at UNT. Click on the link below to listen to his great talk on CREATIVITY.
Please join us March 14 at 7pm for his fascinating presentation. (Meetings are open to the public)
