| The Ohio Art League is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization. The League benefits annually from the generous operating support of the Ohio Arts Council, the Greater Columbus Arts Council, the Columbus Foundation. Additional funds are gratefully received from the contributions of individuals, corporations, grants and fundraising events.

OAL'S HISTORY
In 1909, a group of 40 graduates of the Columbus Art School (now Columbus College of Art & Design) formed the Columbus Art Students League for the purpose of organizing artists with an objective of “mutual and public benefit.”
112 years later, that vision has become the Ohio Art League and has affected the lives of thousands of Ohio artists including such distinguished members as Alice Schille, Roy Lichtenstein, Emerson Burkhart, and George Bellows.
