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.

Monthly Membership Meeting
Thank you to our guest speaker and professional photographer Katherine McClure. She shared her expertise and experience in photography at Thursday’s monthly meeting. GVAL Members left the meeting with a better understanding of light, its attributes, and how it can be used to an artist’s advantage, when setting up composition, best practices for taking photos of art, and the basic mechanics of a camera. Her presentation was extremely informative.
Member meetings are held at HD South, Home of the Gilbert Historical Museum, 10 S Gilbert Road, Gilbert 85296 (located just south of downtown Gilbert). Please enter the parking lot to the west of the museum from W Elliot Rd. The gate to the HD South complex will be open at 6:15 and the meetings begin at 6:30 pm.
