The Monroe Art League was founded in September of 1959 by a group of local artists interested in encouraging artistic talent and appreciation of fine art in the community. The mission of the League is to promote fine art in Monroe County, to encourage artistic talent, be a showcase for our members and their work, and to stimulate art appreciation within the community.

Over the past 60+ years, the Monroe Art League (MAL) hosted exhibitions in various venues, generated art-related activies open to the public (such as classes and scholarships awards to high school students), and supported community events (such as a Members Only Juried Show, held at the Ellis Library & Reference Center).

The Monroe area is fortunate to have many talented artists in the community and we invite all artists and artisans in Monroe and her surrounding areas to join us. Visitors and new members are always welcome!

The MAL meets the fourth Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. at the United Way building: 216 N Monroe St, Monroe, MI, 48162
