Welcome!

The Villages Art League (VAL) is made up of artists working in various mediums and at diverse skill levels. We are residents of The Villages, Florida and welcome other Villages residents that are interested in art to come join us.

We meet at 9:00am on the first Monday of each month at the Saddlebrook Recreation Center. Saddlebrook is located on Buena Vista Boulevard near the Polo Field and Softball Complex.
