The James River Art League is one of the oldest artists’ groups in the Richmond area. The purpose of the League is to provide the members with motivation, association and continuing education through lectures and demonstrations from qualified artists. The League also provides opportunities for members to exhibit art work in various locations throughout the Richmond area. Thanks to a few who had a vision, the James River Art League celebrated our forty-sixth anniversary in 2010.

History
The James River Art League was originally organized by members of a painting class taught by Helen Bailey. Through her persuasion, an art league was formed south of the James River in 1964. At that time, the meetings were held in a small white house on the grounds of the Westover Hills School. The members decided to follow the constitution and by-laws of the Petersburg Art League. They organized the James River Art League as a corporation. Their membership grew, and soon the League included members from across the James River and into the City of Richmond.
