About this organization
Mission
The mission of Art League Houston is to connect the community through diverse, dynamic, and creative experiences that bring people together to see, make, and talk about contemporary visual art. Founded in 1948, Art League Houston has reimagined the art league model to embrace contemporary approaches to curatorial programming, community-building, place-making, art education, and outreach to under-supported communities. ALH is dedicated to ensuring its exhibition, educational, and community-based programming is inclusive and reflective of Houston’s diverse community. ALH’s primary focus is supporting artistic process and practice, always centering the artist at the core of our programs.
