The Art League is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to
promoting the arts within the community. There are two programs
conducted by the Art League: (1) exhibition and sales of members’
art (referred to as Exhibition) and (2) Community Art Education.
Activities of the Art League are conducted by a part-time
administrator, a part-time secretary-bookkeeper, and several
part-time volunteers. The volunteers greet visitors, monitor the
security of the exhibit hall, and handle the sales of art to the
public. Art on exhibit is considered the property of the member
artists, not the Art League.
The post-closing trial balance for the Art League as of June 30,
2019, is shown here.
