In 2024, we began a year-long celebration of our 60th year. Over the past six decades, we have dedicated ourselves to the mission of encouraging the creation and appreciation of the visual arts.
JRAL is one of the oldest art organizations in Richmond and was organized in 1964 by members of a painting class taught by Helen Hull Bailey. Through her persuasion, an art league was formed south of the James River. Noted Richmond artist Chuck Larivey was a charter member of JRAL. Over time, the League grew through the addition of many artists from the region. Today, JRAL remains anchored in the Greater Richmond area but includes members from across the Central Virginia region.
Come celebrate this special year by joining in with your fellow members and attending the many events we've planned throughout 2024!
