The Kalamazoo Art League: serving the KIA, our members, and the community since 1955.
A motivated and dedicated volunteer organization, the Kalamazoo Art League actively promotes the KIA mission by sponsoring an annual lecture series that hosts experts who study, create, curate, or write about art. In addition to the lecture series, Art League plans depARTures (day and overnight trips) to experience art in other museums and communities, plus book discussions and other initiatives reflecting members’ desire to learn about visual arts.
All members of the KIA are eligible to become members of the Art League. Dues are $40 but members must also belong to the KIA.
