The Norwin Art League

 

The Norwin Art League is a nonprofit organization that has provided art enrichment and art education to the Norwin communities since 1954. The League is one of the largest in Western Pennsylvania with a membership of over 180. Our members range from the experienced professional, to the talented amateur, to the “Sunday painter”.

The Norwin Art League offers art classes and art workshops year ‘round except for a break during the Christmas holiday and bad weather months of January and February. Classes and workshops are available for the beginner to the experienced, adults, and children. Each season offers new workshops in a variety of mediums from drawing, oil painting, watercolor, and pastel, to jewelry making and even airbrush.

The Norwin Art League exhibits its members’ artwork at two annual shows and year ‘round in seven different venues including Forbes Regional Hospital and local restaurants. Many of our members have sold their artwork through these venues.

34th Annual Exhibit - Monroeville Mall

Norwin Art League announces their 34th annual exhibit at the Monroeville Mall. The dates are for September 11, 12, 13, and 14, 2008; Thursday to Saturday from 10:00 am to 9:00 pm and Sunday from 12:00 noon to 5:00 pm.

Membership Drive

The art league presently has 180 members. This year we‘d like to double our membership, partly to increase our revenue but also to promote our wonderful organization to the community. In spite of the fact that the Norwin Art League has been a part of our community for 53 years, there are many people who have no idea we exist. We’re asking you to sign up one new member this year. Maybe a parent, son or daughter, or good friend who is interested in art but has never belonged. A $25.00 membership or $40.00 family membership makes a great gift especially for someone who‘s hard to buy for. With their membership they’ll receive all the newsletters and workshop flyers throughout the year. They‘ll also be eligible to exhibit and sell their own artwork at any of our 7 venues. The Norwin Art League is one of THE BEST art organizations in Western PA.

A warm Norwin Art League welcome to our newest members:
Sheron Ann Watson
Mitchell Kalning
Phyllis Forte
Alyce Smola
Marcus Dawson
Russell Montrose
Lisa Fox

My husband and I were thrilled to find a hobby we could both enjoy, each in our own way, together. Through the Norwin Art League, we have found a new way to look at nature.
