In
1909, a group of 40 graduates of the Columbus Art
School formed the Columbus Art Students League for
the purpose of organizing artists with an objective
of “mutual and public benefit.” Nearly
100 years later, that vision has become the Ohio
Art League and has affected the lives of thousands
of Ohio artists including such distinguished members
as Alice Schille, Roy Lichtenstein, Emerson Burkhart,
and George Bellows. Currently, Ohio Art League serves
over 600 artist members and operates from its gallery
in the Short North District in Columbus, Ohio.
