Crooked Creek Art League (CCAL) is located in Chapin, South Carolina. We have around 150 members, including professional and amateur artists and artisans - painters of all mediums, photographers, sculptors and mixed media artists. All are welcome. We have joined together to encourage and support new and established artists, to educate and encourage each other’s work as well as to help grow the visual art in our community by offering artists avenues to improve skills, display and sell art, and to socialize and network with art supporters.
​
Membership runs from September - August of each year. Per the constitution, membership dues should be submitted by September 1. As always, renewals received at any time after the March meeting will count through August 31 of the following year. Renewals received after Sept 30 will be subject to a $10 late fee.
