You do not need to be a member to take classes. Membership does offer many advantages. In the school, it entitles you to pay a drop-in rate and attend open life classes at your convenience.
You may register late for a class if there is still space available and the instructor agrees to add another student.
Similar classes taught by different instructors are not interchangeable. Registration in a class only entitles the student to attend the specific section for which the student is enrolled.
Classes and workshops are for personal enrichment only and do not award credit or certificates.

What is Bin Membership?

Eligible members are contacted in early June. You must continue to be accepted into three juried Art League membership shows during each membership year (July 1 - June 30) in order to renew your Bin Gallery membership in subsequent years. You can only join the Bin Gallery after the beginning of the following membership year.
What is Junior Membership?

As an Art League Gallery member, do I get any discounts in The Art League School?
No, there are no discounts unless you would like to take an Open-Life Drawing session. Current Art League members can “drop in” to the Open-Life Drawing class and pay the $15 or $20 fee directly to the monitor instead of signing up for the entire five-week session.
Exhibits and Jurying
What is the jurying and receiving process?
Receiving for our monthly exhibits is always the first Monday of the first full week of the month from 6:30-8:30 pm and Tuesday from 10:00 am- 12:00 noon in the Gallery. Artists must bring in their actual works to be submitted at this time. No early or late entries will be accepted. When you enter your pieces into the juried exhibit, you will receive a receipt with your entry numbers.
Who juries the monthly exhibits?
Jurors are visual arts professionals from the metropolitan D.C. area and beyond. They cannot be instructors of The Art League or Art League Members. Each show will reflect the opinions of its judge. Election of a different judge each month assures variety in successive exhibits and a broader opportunity for member artists. No judge is invited back for at least two years.
How do you submit artwork to be shown in the gallery?
You must be a current Art League member to enter the monthly-juried shows. The artist can submit two pieces per show and if the juror accepts the artist’s work, he/she will choose only one of the two pieces. All works must be for sale. There is an entry fee for each piece of $5 payable at receiving.
What is the commission for selling your work in The Art League Gallery?
The artist receives 60% of the works sold. After a sale, gallery staff will call the artist to let them know their work has been sold. The commission check will be sent by the 15th of the following month.
