Founded in 1929 by fine arts teachers and students of the University of New Mexico, the League has recently rededicated itself to function as an historic Student Art League in the tradition of its founders.

With an energetic and enthusiastic new Board of Directors, the League is working to expand its classes, workshops, and special events. In addition, as a result of serious efforts in grant acquisitions, the building, its facilities and grounds have been renovated and improved.

Check out the impressive roster of instructors and the classes and workshops coming up in the near future, along with the special events and current or planned exhibitions.

Now, with its renewed focus, the League has expanded courses in fine art for all ages and skill levels, and added life drawing studios, exhibitions, lectures, and events to sustain and enrich the arts in New Mexico.
