2nd Annual "Inspired by..." show

What inspires your paintings? Is it a particular artist’s style, the beautiful landscape in front of you, your special interest or hobby? WE WANT TO KNOW! As artists we share a different view of the world and are always looking for our next big idea. Sharing that “spark” will help us all understand your piece in a deeper way. Email short statements about your inspiration for your entries along with your images. These statements will be displayed with the gallery tag. This will be a fun show and should stimulate many interesting conversations.

COMING SUMMER 2023!

Art in the Village, sponsored by the North Shore Art League will take place at Hubbard Woods Park (939 Green Bay Road) in Winnetka on June 24th and 25th from 10 am – 5 pm. NSAL, the 98 year old arts organization located in the historic Winnetka Community House, is proud to promote this annual juried art show. 


The park is a beautiful setting for a summer art fair - in the middle of the Village’s Hubbard Woods Design + Dine District.  This boutique exhibition will feature artists from across the country showcasing their work, including oil paintings, mixed media, photography, sculpture, and more. 


As an added attraction, on Sunday, NSAL faculty member and portrait artist Lisa DePinto will be on-site to paint quick oil portraits.

    About Us

    Welcome...The art community we have fostered here for over 99 years is alive and well! It is a community full of rich experiences, shared passions, creative conversations and special connections through the offering of art classes, exhibits, workshops, lectures and special arts events in Winnetka. ​​Our community happens when we talk to each other at an exhibit; it happens when we get messy in a class; it happens when we sit around a table together to work on projects; it happens when we meet new friends at League events. Art endures - and so will the League! We invite you to explore our adult art classes and art classes for children.
