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.
You are invited! Get dates and show details about our juried show in Gilbert this Spring. Click/tap here

Opening reception, Sunday March 15th 2:00 to 4:00 pm
Location: 10 S Gilbert Rd, Gilbert, AZ 85296
Monthly Membership Meeting
Thank you to our guest speaker Tom Conner. Tom grew up in North Carolina and was drawing and painting from an early age. He graduated from North Carolina State University’s School of Design with a degree in architecture while continuing to pursue drawing and painting in his free time. It was after moving to Arizona that his true arts education began, in the deserts and forests of the southwest. Developing a love of great open spaces, hiking, camping and rock climbing soon filled his free time, where he absorbed the beauty of nature and learned to observe his surroundings. Since then he has explored his love of the natural world through painting, both plein air and studio works, always in the pursuit of capturing greater truths.
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.
