Welcome to the Gilbert Visual Art League

The Gilbert Visual Art League strives to increase artistic awareness and appreciation in the East Valley community. We offer artists fellowship and support through monthly meetings, which include professional artist demonstrations. Our twice yearly art shows give artists an opportunity to have their work seen in a professional gallery setting. Throughout the year a variety of sales venues are available exclusively to our GVAL Membership. Our members also have the opportunity to participate with community outreach and volunteering in community events.

The first meeting at HDSouth will be on Thursday, September 3rd from 6:30PM to 8:00PM.

Membership fees are due September 1st for the 2026/27 GVAL year.
