The Naperville Art League, which runs these kids classes and camps, was founded in 1961 as a non-profit organization created to support and sustain development and diversity of all forms of art through instruction, programs, workshops, and exhibits. Its leadership team includes President Sally Sharp, Director of Exhibits Rose Calkins, Director of Education Lynne Kornecki, Director of Development Beata Nowak, Director of Marketing & Communication Jeri Davis, Director of Member Services Jennifer Hauser, Director of Programs & Hospitality Olivia Warro, Director of Building & Grounds Dan McCullough, Treasurer Linda Vander Kolk, Board Member at Large and Riverwalk Fine Art Fair Executive Director Debbie Venezia, with the Secretary position listed as open. The organization states that it does not discriminate based on race, color, national origin, age, disability, religion, gender, or sexual orientation and is a not-for-profit, volunteer organization sponsored by membership.
The Naperville Art League founded the Riverwalk Fine Art Fair in 1985, an outdoor art fair that draws thousands of festival goers to downtown Naperville on the third weekend of every September, and this fair has earned a reputation as one of the top outdoor art fairs in the country. In 1984, the organization commissioned the 15-foot-high red sculpture “Landforms” on the city’s Riverwalk by artist Jack Arnold and later became part of Naperville’s Century Walk public art project in 2009 with the World’s Greatest Artist mural. The building annually serves over 200 members and approximately 500 students of diverse backgrounds, from preschoolers through seniors, and the organization provides a referral service for residents seeking to commission original art by league members or to find artists for demonstrations or art instruction outside regular classes.
