We look forward to another 100 years of helping artists expand their skills and nourish their creative spirit.

ted participation in the League during World War II and later. Steady growth of interest and program has marked the years since. In 1962 the League was incorporated as a non-profit corporation. The Internal Revenue Service classifies the League as 501C3, qualifying donations to the League as tax deductible. In 1966 the League raised funds to remodel the former dressing room building of High Dive Park; 511-C Baldwin St. We have since leased the building through the Elkhart Parks and Recreation Department for use as our headquarters and class rooms. The building is centrally located with convenient parking in a pleasant park setting.
