The Visual Art League of Lewisville is led by a team of volunteers who serve as Board Members. VAL members are also encouraged to volunteer their time, skills and talent to the organization. We are grateful to everyone who supports the organization!

At the heart of our mission is a commitment to supporting artists, fostering connections, and enriching the community through shared creative experiences. The VAL continues to grow, thanks to the energy and vision of our members, volunteers, and supporters who believe in the power of art to transform lives.
