Often 300 to 400 guests attend The Art League’s opening receptions and events. Thousands more unique visitors explore The Art League’s website, blog, social media networks, and YouTube and Flickr galleries each month.

In the School, over 6,500 students enroll each year in Art League classes, filling over 10,000 seats each year.  The Art League strives to ensure a wide range of educational opportunities resulting in a diverse student body that spans all ages, demographics, and levels of expertise.  The majority of our students are working professionals hailing from Northern Virginia.
