Placer Arts League

The Placer Arts League (PAL) is a group of active visual artists who meet regularly for fellowship, artist presentations and demonstrations on a variety of media and art-related topics. The league’s charter is to support and educate local artists, encourage emerging artists and provide opportunities for exhibition and sale of members’ work. League artists range from award-winning professionals to novices, working in a variety of 2D and 3D media. Many experienced members offer classes in their respective areas of expertise.

The oldest arts organization in the Auburn area, PAL now thrives as a program of PlacerArts, providing artist resources to support the council’s many fine arts programs and extending its reach to include a wide variety of fine artists in the county.
