The Gallery
Since
its inception in 1961, the Naperville Art League has provided support for local
emerging and established artists. The Naperville Fine Art Center and Gallery, supported by the Art League,
provides a place for artists to gather together, exhibit their original work and
share their talents with the community. The Gallery is a place where both
artists and the community come to learn, understand and appreciate art. The
Gallery is open to the public and features
classes
for adults and children, workshops, demonstrations and regular
exhibits.
