The West Cook YMCA has invited the Oak Park Art League to collaborate on an exciting mural project in their community gathering space that will be the focal point of their remodeled first floor.
This partnership showcases OPAL's artistic voices while strengthening our community connections and helping us refocus on art as self-care, expressive empowerment and healing.
In 2026 we are creating a new series where our creative community can meet, make, connect and share with fellow artists, in the gallery after dark, Thursday evenings, 6-8pm. Check out what’s coming up!

In an age of digital connection and physical distance, how do we capture and portray what makes us most human? What does it mean to be human in this moment and how can art portray this?Through figure and portrait, artists have long explored the complexity of human experience. Our vulnerabilities, connections, contradictions, and resilience all captured in a gesture, in a face.
The Oak Park Art League is once again offering artists a chance to display their work outside our main gallery, in local businesses we have partnered with to provide more exposure for artists. There are a few options now and you can sign up to exhibit at
