History :

Mineola League of the Arts (MLOTA) is located in Mineola, Texas. The League began in 1988 with 17 charter members meeting in various homes and businesses to promote the arts. In 1989, rental of the old Central Elementary School Building provided a place to display and perform art forms. In 1992, the Meredith Foundation of Mineola provided MLOTA with a grant to purchase the building from the school district. Additional grants also provided funds for exterior and interior renovations. Space abounds for exhibiting, teaching, learning, performing and involving the community in the arts.

The League is centrally located in the heart of the Piney Woods of East Texas in Wood County.
