About Art League Houston's Healing Art Program:  In 1990, Art League Houston (ALH) founded its free Healing Art program for adults living with HIV+/AIDS.  In 1995, ALH provided additional Healing Art classes to serve adults living with other severe illnesses including cancer, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, and physical disabilities.  The ALH Healing Art program is the only one of its kind for adults in Houston, outside of hospital or clinical settings. ALH Healing Art classes are offered free of charge. ALH teaching artists Kermit Eisenhut and Emily Sloan instruct Healing Art students in painting, collage, drawing, and mixed media.  In addition, ALH provides Healing Art students with opportunities to exhibit and sell their art each year.    

About the Art League School: Through the Art League School, ALH offers a wide array of affordable classes and workshops for adults taught by many of Houston's outstanding visual artists. The Art League School offers courses in oil, acrylic, and watercolor painting, classical portrait, figure, abstract, and landscape painting, drawing fundamentals, figure drawing, jewelry making, printmaking, assemblage, and principles of design.

 

Art League Houston, located at 1953 Montrose, was founded in 1948 and incorporated as a non-profit organization in 1953.  The mission of Art League Houston is to cultivate awareness, appreciation, and accessibility of contemporary visual art.  It fulfills its mission through exhibitions, the Art League School, the Texas Artist of the Year program, and outreach programming which includes a drawing lab for high school students, residencies in Houston I.S.D. schools, workshops for families, winter and summer art camps for youth, and its Healing Art program for adults living with illness and disability.

 

Art League Houston wishes to thank its many generous donors for their support.
