OPAL NEWS
Each month's 1st Sunday figure session is our designated Clothed model session, allowing younger artists access to live models to gain more skill. Open to teens 12+ as well as adults.
OPAL’s Last exhibition of 2025 is an OPEN CALL for food themed artworks in all media!
From the still lives of the Renaissance and Dutch Golden age to the soft sculptures of Claus Oldenburg, or the lush impasto of Wayne Theibaud, food is everywhere in art! Food is sustenance, it brings us together around a table, it can bring joy or anxiety, it can be factory-farmed or farm-to-table.

During OPAL’s Fall Fundraiser HOUSE of OPAL, the work by Oak Park Art League members on the gallery walls will create a rich backdrop of creative expression, epitomizing OPAL’s mission and reflecting our unique artistic community.
This is where you will find all the opportunities we come across or that come in especially to be shared with the OPAL artist community.
Thank you for joining us to celebrate HOUSE of OPAL! We had a great time and met our fundraising goal with help from attendees and sponsors and donations from the community.
