programs and exhibitions, including special events,
jurors, exhibiting artists, supporters and service
awards. With a distribution of 2,500, the journal
is mailed to members and is distributed free of

galleries. Details, a quarterly newsletter, informs
members of the activities and events of the Ohio
Art League and provides a listing of artist opportunities.
Programs
The Artist Info/Expo is a biennial mini-conference,
featuring networking opportunities with statewide
visual arts representation and workshops to assist
artists in their professional endeavors. Life
Drawing sessions are sponsored by the League and
held every Sunday at the OAL Gallery for a nominal
charge. Additional informal workshops are offered
in the gallery throughout the year. From time
to time OAL also offers informal workshops at
the gallery on subjects ranging from shooting
slides, to marketing art, to doing your taxes.

A slide file of members’ artwork is maintained
by the Ohio Art League and is available to curators,
museums, collectors, art dealers and the general
public. Members of the Ohio Art League may submit
a page of twenty labeled slides with a bio or
resume.
