ts members and friends. HAL’s purpose is to cultivate Visual art and artists in
the Tennessee Valley. |

This is accomplished through exhibitions, education,
and community outreach. HAL receives no Federal, State, or local tax dollars, but
operates solely on the support of its members. sales of its exhibiting artists, and the
generosity of the local community. |

HAL provides educational programs and instruction for
children and adults, sponsors workshops with prominent visiting artists, conducts
demonstrations in various media, and hosts special exhibitions. HAL strives to provide a congenial and stimulating
environment for nurturing visual literacy and expression |
| Since its founding in
1957, HAL has been a primary source of representation and support for local artists. For many years the cooperative organization was
dedicated to the formation of a permanent Museum of Art in Huntsville, and for that
purpose assumed the name Huntsville Art League and Museum Association (HALMA) |
 |
 |
During that time, in cooperation with The Arts Council,
the funding mechanisms and community support for the new institution were formed, leading
to the rapid development of the Huntsville Museum of Art, our acclaimed and successful
sister institution. |
| Over the years, HAL has
pioneered much of the visual art activity in the region, and has maintained close ties
with college and university art departments. Additionally, HAL has assumed the role of a
regional Visual Art Center, serving the visual art interests of all citizens of the
Tennessee Valley. HAL takes great pride in
its atmosphere of warmth and cooperation. |
