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
