Beaumont Art League

The Beaumont Art League (BAL) was organized by a group of local artists as early as 1943. Through 1947, the League sponsored exhibitions of local artists and the Texas Women's Print Makers Association.

An article in the Beaumont Enterprise quoted founding member Mrs. B. Price on the purpose behind the new organization "The League was organized to bring good pictures before the public, thereby doing a little education work for art's sake and to encourage those who are interested in art."

The League is proud to showcase BAL National, a 50-year tradition. This exhibition was originally established as a statewide juried competition, as interest and participation increased, it expanded nationwide. The show attracts competing artists from across the United States.
