Carlsbad Oceanside Art League Mission
“We encourage artistic growth”, and open the world of art to everyone irrespective of their level of artistic or creative experience, while providing accessible platforms, resources, and opportunities for artists, to engage with the community at large, share, and educate through self expression. We provide a variety of support to those willing to particpate in our outreach programs.
We are a driven volunteer-based Membership, and appreciate their valuable time in support of the North Coastal Art Gallery.
History of North Coastal Art Gallery and Carlsbad-Oceanside Art League
The North Coastal Art Gallery is managed by the (COAL), Carlsbad-Oceanside Art League which is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization, formed in August 1951, by a group of 5 emerging and established artists who lived in the Carlsbad and Oceanside area. Their mission was to promote art education and cultural appreciation in the community, and whose primary purpose was to provide art enrichment to artists, and provide a place to display artwork. We have expanded their dreams to reach across communities.
