This year artists from the Art League will be on site displaying their work as well as creating new pieces of art right on sight. In addition, there will be an art (coloring) area for the kids so that they can also demonstrate their talents.   The Doylestown Art League was founded in 1959 by the late Walter Fell and 19 fellow artists. Today, with more than 40 years of service to its members and to the community, the League is one of Bucks County's leading cultural institutions. DAL is dedicated to the appreciation, education and practice of art.   Many members of Doylestown Art League are artist recognized locally, regionally and internationally for the outstanding quality of their work, but membership is open to anyone, artist or non-artist, 16 years or older, who is interested in supporting the visual arts. Members range from novice to professional.   All meetings of the Doylestown Art League are open to the public. Held at the James Lorah Home, Broad and Main Streets, Doylestown, (across from the Bucks County Courthouse) , meetings begin at 7:30 p. m., usually on the first Thursday of the month. Whether you follow a certain artists work or are looking for the perfect picture to fit your perfect room, come explore and enjoy our local artists.   Artists in Review Activities: Art Auction Local artists demo's Wood turning demo's Scrapbooking demo's Individual art sales       back to top   Other Activities   Pumpkin Painting Costume Characters Barnyard Petting Zoo Hayrides Pony Rides     back to top
