About Us

James River Art League is a non-profit organization with about 80 member artists from the Richmond area.  Our goal is to encourage the creation and appreciation of art.  We provide our members with motivation, association and continuing education through programs featuring qualified artists and art professionals, and by providing opportunities for members to exhibit artwork in venues throughout the Richmond area.  Our member artists work in a diverse spectrum of art mediums, including oil, acrylic, watercolor, pastel, graphite, collage, block prints and sculpture.

History of JRAL
JRAL is one of the oldest art groups in Richmond and was originally organized in 1964 by members of a painting class taught by Helen Bailey. Through her persuasion, an art league was formed south of the James River.  Originally, meetings were held in small white house on the grounds of Westover Hills School.  The membership grew and soon the League included members from across the Richmond area.  Today, our membership spans a diverse geographic area in the Greater Richmond area.
