About Us

Conway League of Artists (CLA)
The Conway League of Artists (CLA) is dedicated to enriching, promoting, and supporting the arts within the Conway community. Since our founding in 1973 with just five members, we have grown into a vibrant and diverse organization representing artists of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels. Our mission is to provide local artists with the visibility and opportunities they need to thrive.
Beyond professional development, CLA offers a supportive community where members build lasting friendships and grow together in their artistic endeavors.

    The Conway League of Artists also provides funds for UCA art students through the Dorris Curtis Scholarship Fund.  The fund was started in 1976 and was named after Dorris Curtis, one of the founders of the League and also a student at UCA.  Throughout the years, CLA has helped provide funds for this scholarship to assist UCA art students reach their career goals.

From our humble beginnings, the League has evolved into a cornerstone of the arts in Conway and the surrounding areas.
