Classes & Workshops
WAL organizes classes and workshops on an ongoing basis.  Working with a more experienced artist in a focused learning environment is a great way to refine existing skills and learn new ones or to learn more about a medium or approach with which you are not familiar.  In addition, WAL hosts summer art classes for children and adults.

Art Groups
Artists are invited to participate in art groups that meet regularly to explore and create art, focusing on one common facet of art, like portraits, still lifes, Artist Trading Cards, Plein Air, or other kinds of art.  They are open groups with no instructor.

Judged Art Shows
The Woodlands Art League is a member of The Lone Star Art Guild and we host an LSAG ruled show annually.  The show is open to all WAL and other LSAG members. All submitted artwork is judged by an independent artist/judge hired by WAL. See Lone Star Art Guild (LSAG) for rules. 

Guest Artist Demonstrations and Special Events
After each monthly general meeting, a guest artist may give a demonstration of his or her art. We seek people who have a variety of skills and interests and those we might not normally have an opportunity to see here. Included are artists who work in oils, watercolors, mixed media, pastels, etc. Other special events may be art talks, presentations by retailers, or art critiques.

Exhibiting Your Art Work

Artists may be extended the opportunity to exhibit their artworks in various ways including

• Facebook WAL Artist  Online Gallery:   $30.00/year annual fee. , linked your bio, email and website. 
• Special exhibitions and shows 
• Public displays in selected locations.

Community Involvement
WAL is a Charity Partner of the Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival, helping to provide hundreds of volunteer hours to make this event a success. In addition, WAL artists have contributed to Montgomery County Habitat for Humanity, Market Street Art Fairs, The Woodlands High School Art Trust “Palettes & Paintings”, and The Woodlands High School Orchestra and Booster Club to name just a few.
