The West Shore Art League is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and raising awareness of art and artists in the Ludington area. The League is open to artists and art lovers and we encourage you to join us. In addition to monthly events and a newsletter, we hold a members' art exhibit in May, sponsor an annual arts fair in Ludington every July, offer a summer arts program for Ludington area youth, and award art scholarships to high school and college students.

WSAL Calendar

The 2009 Children’s Art Exploration is under way now. Each year we teach 150 Mason County students recommended by their teachers free of charge in a variety of visual, performing and writing arts. This program is possible because of the Annual Fine Arts & Crafts Fair. Come out and show your support on July 4th and 5th.

The Red Door Gallery will have their 9th Annual Artist Reception on Saturday, June 27th, 7 – 9 PM showcasing the 2009 artists and their work for sale in the gallery.

Mon. June 29th – Children’s Art Exploration Open House – 6:30 pm & Performance 7:00 pm Followed by a short June General Membership Mtg. after the performance @ 7:30 pm Ludington Area Center for the Arts

Come and see the work 150 area students produce in our art classes and see the performance. Be prompt, because these budding artists can’t wait to take their work home from the open house and perform.
