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
