Call for Board Members

We are reaching out to all members as it is time to start acquiring new members of the Ohio Art League Board of Trustees. We are seeking several new board members to participate in shaping the coming years of one of largest and longest running statewide arts organizations in Ohio.  If you or someone you know might be interested in volunteering to be a member of the Board of Trustees, please visit the link below to complete an online form that will provide us with enough information to invite you to a future board meeting where we can discuss your interest and possible appointment.

 The Ohio Art League has been and continues to be a member driven volunteer-based organization since 1909. Without the hard work of our board members and member volunteers, the organization would not be able to provide, monthly networking meetings, member artists marketing through social media, manage the Thumb Box; Fall Juried Exhibition; Spring Juried Exhibition, and provide opportunities such as the curated exhibitions at the John Glenn Airport’s Gateway to the Arts Gallery.

 We look forward to working with all of you who might be interested in helping support the future of this long running artist organization

Membership Policy Information

With another year in the history books for the Ohio Art League, we would like to take this time to provide you with reminders about the membership policy, membership renewals, and membership provisions.

Membership Policy

The Ohio Art League has a few different membership types. The most popular are Artists/Enthusiast ($50), Family/Joint ($90 for two members), Veteran ($20 with proof of service), and Student ($20 with proof of enrollment).

Membership Renewals

When signing up, membership will only automatically renew annually if you select that option. Otherwise, you will receive renewal notices by email. Current policy is to email a first notice 30 days before the renewal due date, a second notice is sent 10 days before renewal due date, and a third notice is sent on the due date for renewal. If renewal dues are not paid within 30 days, you will receive a grace period renewal email. If you do not renew within 45 days after the renewal date, your account will move to lapsed status and you will receive a final renewal email. Once in lapsed status, access to membership areas (such as submission calls and membership profile editing) will no longer function but you will still receive general emails from the Ohio Art League.
