The Slidell Art League is an incorporated 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation (Tax ID:
72-943422). Founded in 1962, the Slidell Art League is one of the oldest recognized
non-profit organizations on the Northshore. With over 200 local artists, our members
share their talent, time & creativity with the community. The following are a few of the
community outreach programs that your membership will help support:
Gallery Exhibits–SAL hosts five art exhibits yearly in its Gallery, including an
opening reception that is free & open to the public. Four of the exhibits are open to
all area artists to submit works. The fifth is a members-only show, although the
exhibit and reception are free & open to the public to view.
Our Part Thru Art (OPTA) was developed to serve children & adults in the Parish
who otherwise would not have the opportunity or means to participate in the arts.
Through art, SAL members help participants strengthen & enrich themselves.
Special efforts are made to include those with physical, emotional & financial
challenges. OPTA classes are held at the Council of the Aging St. Tammany
(COAST), to residents/patients at Greenbriar Skilled Subacute & Rehab Center,
Trinity Neurological Rehabilitation Center & Slidell Senior Citizens Day Care, and a
facility for Alzheimer’s patients.
Slidell Art League Teens (SALT)-SAL members work with teenagers throughout the
Parish to develop their artistic skills, strengthen their self-esteem and encourage the
importance of community involvement & volunteerism. These young people
volunteer their time & talents at many community events doing children’s face
painting.
Workshops – Slidell Art League artists provide instruction and guidance during
Saturday art workshops. These workshops are open to the public for a small fee.
Our workshops have included classes in oils, pastels, acrylics, drawing & plein aire.
These classes as well as the addition of photography, jewelry, watercolor, paper
collage, stained glass & cartooning are scheduled throughout 2008. Our goal is to
give the community the opportunity to experiment in many different types of
mediums without incurring a large cost. These budding artists are offered the
opportunity to “find their inner artist” with the assistance of our workshops. Our
classes are one day in length, & each participant takes home their artwork ready to
hang!
