WAL Opens Market Street Art Gallery!

Warm greetings WAL Members,

It is with great pleasure and excitement that the WAL board of directors is pleased to announce that TM MARKET STREET LLC has granted Woodlands Art League a temporary license space for the right to show art and to offer art classes. Members, we have a gallery!

The temporary license runs from August 1st, to December 31st, with first right of renewal. Rent for the space is $500 plus electricity and is located at 9595 Six Pines #1370, across from Aaron Brothers Art. The space is about 2,800 square ft., with a large back room that we will be using for studio classes, workshops and group gatherings to expand our artistic interests. The space is well suited for our needs and is in very good condition except for the lack of a good cleaning (currently underway) and possible repainting. We have been able to obtain some free fixtures and materials to build three model platforms. We also have plenty of room to house a children's program, library, gathering area, and exhibition.

We are not letting go of our other venues with the Community Center or the Library as it is important that we stay connected to these venues for our many community activities. In fact many venues to show art in our community have opened up for us to act on in the coming months.

This new space helps to advance our mission statement which is: “The League’s purpose is to further the cause and interest in the visual arts through scholarships, teaching, programs, demonstrations, exhibitions, and community involvement." Our league was founded exclusively for educational purposes and is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. We are WAL, a unique group of artists and supporters of the arts. Let’s all come together in the next few months, make this opportunity a huge success, and show The Woodlands and surrounding communities the wealth of talent available for them.

Further information concerning classes, workshops, events, and collection of art work for the Gallery will be announced through our web site very soon.
Thank you, to all the board members and members who have worked so hard to make this Gallery come together in less than a month.

Sincerely,
Vida Tuminas, President
Woodlands Art League
