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 exhibiting opportunities for member art work in various locations
throughout the Richmond area. Thanks to a few who had a vision, the James River Art League
celebrated their fortieth year anniversary in 2005.

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.
