ABOUT
The Art League of Nassau County offers its members the opportunity to grow as fine artists and to join in an art community enjoying a variety of art related activities.
The Art League of Nassau County (ALNC) is a group of over 100 painters and sculptors. Since 1925 we have been creating art together, studying our craft, exhibiting our work, and making friends along the way. We are dedicated to helping our members grow in their craft of fine art.
