The summer kids camp here is terrible!

I was told the drop off time for a show was September 28th. It was sent to me August 19th. I then email them Septemeber 18th about the show and they tell me the drop off time for the same show is now October 4th. I woke up today, drove all the way out, and when I showed up they tell me you mustve not checked your emails properly. The show was last week.Today is October 4th.....they didnt even let me hang my art even though they were completely wrong about the days to drop off.However, Chris Jacobson, the president of the organization compensated the mistake by giving me half off my renewal membership and including my pieces in the current show. That was nice of her to correct the mistake. The only problem i had with this was that i had to reach out to then and set all this up, instead of vise versa. I also wasnt included in the judging process...which was a bummer because i made the works specifically to fit that theme... Whatever. Hopefully my experiences will change the review as time goes on.They need new judges though. I leave this at 2 stars because Robert Fritz was the last judge I know of and he mustve been drunk when he was judging. He gave an award to a piece that was literally beanie babies glued together and NOT some amazing other works that look like they could sell for 4000$. Either he did that as a joke or he knows nothing about art.

This is a little gem if a place! My daughter takes art classes here and loves it.

This is an update to the original post. The Naperville Art League has a classroom that is being put to good use. They teach traditional as well as popular art classes, Some of their teachers are very popular and in high demand. If you are considering an art class, I would start here and call them. The staff is polite, attentive and knowledgable. Moving on to the gallery, over the last few of years, I have seen many of the showings in the the Naperville Art League Gallery. The local talent on display here is incredible. This place is a must stop for Anybody wanting to see great local art.Here is the original post...We attended the first Naperville Art League Casino Royale and I have to say, It was a great time. Plenty of food, drink, and fun for everyone, not to mention the fantastic Art. The theme of the art that was hanging was, Luck be a Lady. So it went well with the casino party. They had a DJ there, Ian, who really blended the music well to go along with the occasion. I youre looking for something fun and classy to do in Naperville, I would recommend visiting the Naperville Art League. Also, they are expanding their educational offerings, so go to the web site to see whats cookn. Maybe theyll have a class thats just right for you!
