Founders of the Burlington Artists League:
Jim, Carolyn and nine other individuals in Alamance County founded the Burlington Artists League in 1972.  Over the years annual membership has grown to over 100 members. The express purpose of the BAL is to promote and elevate the area artists and their fine art spirit in Burlington and the surrounding area.  BAL energy is devoted to creating outlets for the artists and the encouragement of the artist's continuing efforts to improve and create more artwork.  The main purpose of the League was and continues to be that of fostering encouragement for both new and established artists.  The League provides opportunities for all artists to exhibit their art without having to pass through a jury process.  It is believed that all artists must find an opportunity to start displaying their art, and through association, practice, instructional programs, and encouragement they will refine, improve and expand their abilities.  You are invited to explore and if you like, join the Burlington Artists League by going to their website of www.BALartists.com.

Burlington Artists League Fine Arts Gallery:
The expansions of the BAL have lead to the creation and opening of the Burlington Artists League Fine Arts Gallery.  The Gallery is located in Holly Hill Mall and Business Center at 309 Huffman Mill Road in Burlington, NC 27215.  The hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 12 noon until 8 pm and Saturday from 10 am until 9 pm.  It is closed on Sunday except for scheduled special occasions.  If you would like to visit the Gallery you will find it adjacent to Sears inside the mall area.  If you are traveling on Interstate 85/40 from out of town, you will take Exit 141, and travel north about ¾ mile on Huffman Mill Road.  You will see the Holly Hill Mall and Business Center on your left as you approach the Mebane Street intersection.  The next intersection forms the north corner of the Mall property with US Highway 70 (South Church Street) and Huffman Mill Road.  Additional information about the BAL Fine Arts Gallery may also found on the BAL website www.BALartists.com.
