Member work typically includes a broad range of media, such as oil, acrylics, watercolor, pastel, pen and ink, mixed media and sculpture.
The league meets the second Sunday of each month from 1:30 to 3 p.m. at Sycamore Shoals State Park.
The summer show will be open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Sundays from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
