Members Gallery Members, please take a look at our website's Members Gallery page.  16 of 25 members have submitted an artwork image to put on the PAL website.  Everyone else, please send me one of your images to put in our members gallery.  We'd like to show the world your wonderful art.  Also, include information about your artworks such as medium(s).  Just a short sentence...  look at the couple of members that have more than their name displayed.  Send your image to info@plainfieldartleague.org.  if you need help with getting your image ready, call Mike Bessler @ 630-667-5174.
