Business Overview

History of the Woodlands Art League In 1981, with a handful of members, The Woodlands Art League began meeting at the Trinity Episcopal Church. Area artists were invited to demonstrate their talents while members sat in the church pews. Artwork was exhibited along the walls of the sanctuary. And the league grew. Meeting locations shifted to accommodate WAL's growth and development. A partnership developed with the Woodlands Corporation who provided a space for WAL. The Wharf in The Village of Grogan's Mill was one of the spaces. WAL utilized this space to establish a Gallery. By 1984 WAL membership had grown to over 100 artists. Art classes were organized and sponsored which created a need for additional space. A psychiatric hospital along I45 provided that space. The Woodlands Inn building provided gallery space. WAL began to sponsor national level workshops by Tom Browning, Mary Jane Cox, Bill Kalwick, Bob Rohm, Betty Carr, Bobbie Kilpatrick and more. The new Montgomery College Art Gallery opened in 1985. WAL began regular quarterly shows with members sitting the Gallery daily. In 1999-2000 WAL sponsored the Lone Star Art Guild (LSAG) Convention at The Woodlands Inn and Resort Center, organizing over three hundred and twenty-five artists, nine demonstrators, and four national workshops to attend. Trademark Properties offered a space at Market Street to WAL, who gratefully accepted and created the Local Color Gallery. This also marked WAL's 25th Anniversary. The Gallery was open for close to a year, offering a highly visible venue for members to exhibit and sale their artwork to the community. At the 30th Anniversary of WAL, Trademark Properties once again welcomed WAL to establish Gallery space at Market Street. This space was large enough to accommodate children's and adult art classes, workshops, and painting groups. As WALs prestige and community awareness grew, so did its membership with numbers in the four hundreds. WAL is currently located in Grogan's Park Center and though our space is not quite as large we maintain our children's and adult art classes, national level workshops with artists Robert Liberace, Judith Carducci, Clayton Beck and more, painting groups, in house and community events, and our Local Color Gallery. In addition, WAL has become quite a force in our community. We've been a charity partner with The Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival Council for the past seven years, Habitat for Humanity for the past three years, the Woodlands High School Orchestra and Arts Department for the past several years, along with various organizations that provide opportunities for us to share our talents. Please join our local artists community as we grow to offer more events for artists and non artists alike! Read more
