SHAL is fertile ground for any artist wanting to grow in the pursuit of art, whatever his or her goals may be. Artists join the League for many reasons. For artists who earn their living through their artwork, the League provides another outlet for their work. Others use their talent to enhance their own lives and give enjoyment to those viewing their work, with sales as an added benefit. The League gives artists an opportunity to meet other artists and share information and inspiration; artists new to exhibiting can learn about presenting and merchandising their work.
