"As it rounds out its first century of service, OPAL has remained a critical player in the creative culture and discourse of Oak Park. A vibrant art center with a gallery, classes and events, it's the visually-driven third of a fantastic, walkable cultural triangle along with the Frank Lloyd Wright Home & Studio and Hemingway attractions. Welcoming, staffed by incredible local artists and brimming with history, it is well worth a visit." - Julie Shumacher & Brett Burwell

Oak Park Art League is taking it to the next level! The new executive director, staff and board are creating experiences, classes, workshops and events that are high quality. Sunday figure drawing has returned with three hour sessions and info about the models online when you register. They alternate male and female models every week.

The figure drawing drop ins costs are high and you cannot know anything about the models ahead of time. I stopped going for that reason. Most artists prefer female models, including me. Also the time of sessions are inconvenient.

We all had a great wine and beer fueled private painting lesson! The instructor was friendly, approachable, and helpful. Very quaint exterior as well!

This small in space Art League packs a lot of history. I enjoyed the classes taught by respected professionals. The classes lean more on studio time and community space then pure instruction and specific prjects which is nice. The classes were affordable and provide gallery shows once a year for students.
