OUR MISSION
The Carbon County Art League (CCAL) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that supports local artists of all ages and mediums. Workshops or artist presentations are held at our monthly meeting and we hold several Art Shows annually where members and non-members can exhibit their work to the public.
The group's goals include informing and educating the public about art and also to encourage the public to appreciate art and support artists through the purchase of their art. We encourage students to participate in art exhibitions and to broaden their horizons about artists. We strive to encourage students with the love and talent for art to pursue the artistic field. Our league holds exhibitions to give artists an opportunity to display their latest works, To continue to promote the arts for years to come the organization works to stimulate interest in the schools and organizations of our area.
