Curing FOMA: How to Fix Your Fear of Missing Art This April
F.O.M.A. (noun): Fear Of Missing Art.
It’s a term we just invented to describe the nagging feeling that there might be a cool art event flying under your radar. But there’s no need to fear: we’ve collected all the art happenings under one roof and on one calendar. Here’s what’s happening in the next few weeks at The Art League …
Art classes
Right now: There’s no time like the present! You can register online for Spring workshops and Summer Art Camp for ages 5 and up. Not sure which class is for you (or which camp is for your child)? Give us a call at 703-683-2323 and we’ll be happy to help.
Entry deadline
April 15: Friday is the final day to enter the May Open Exhibit. (This deadline was extended from April 1.) The juror is artist Lisa Golightly, who hails from Portland, Oregon. As with all our online-entry exhibits, you can enter only via theartleague.submittable.com.

Art. Cocktails. Appetizers.

Your job is to get a ticket, try all the creative combos, and vote for your favorite. April 16 is the final day to get an early bird ticket and save $10!
