Realist Art League — Material & Education Partnerships
About Realist Art League
Realist Art League (ReAL) is a Philadelphia-based atelier-style studio dedicated to preserving and advancing realist painting through rigorous instruction, professional exhibitions, and public programs. ReAL serves serious students, working artists, and instructors through year-round classes, workshops, open studios, and juried exhibitions held at Globe Dye Works.
