The New Mexico Art League is a nonprofit association of artists, students, and art lovers founded in 1929 by Fine Arts teachers and students of the University of New Mexico. The League has trained generations of artists who have attained regional, national, and international acclaim. Early fund raising by the League through art auctions and annual "Beaux Arts Balls," contributed to the acquisition of important works of art for permanent collections in New Mexico. The Albuquerque Art Museum was funded in part through the Art League "Museum Ball" with Conrad Hilton, a New Mexico native, on the advisory board. Today the Art League continues this tradition with courses in applied art for all ages and skill levels, figure studios, exhibitions, lectures, and events to sustain and enrich the arts in New Mexico. |
