Each month, the library offers a new art exhibit for patrons to browse, in our hallway and on the east and west walls of our Meeting Room. Drop in any time during opening hours to see the work of artists in our community. If you are a local artist wishing to exhibit, please see the guidelines below:

The Coastal Camera Club is holding their Fall Photography Show here at the Guilford Free Library. It features photographs made by its members in the categories of Architecture, Nature, Nature Touched by Man, Landscape/Seascape/Cityscape, People, Creative and General.
The show will run from November 2nd through November 29th and is free to the public. An opening reception will be held on November 5th from 6:00-7:45 pm in the GFL Meeting Room. It is free to the public, and refreshments will be served.
The Coastal Camera Club meets on the first and third Wednesday of the month at 7pm from mid-September through early June in the café at the Madison Senior Center.

This year the club is sponsoring a number of educational and instructional lectures and workshops, informal photo shoots and other fun activities designed to teach and improve photography skills. New members are welcome to join at any meeting. For more information, please check the club’s website at http://www.coastalcameraclub.org/
Artist wishing to exhibit?
Artists interested in exhibiting their work are invited to submit a proposal. Prior to scheduling a show, we also ask exhibitors to sign a hold harmless and to submit some additional details about the exhibit so that we can post the information on our website. Priority will be given to local and Connecticut artists and we request that all exhibits be appropriate for family viewing.
Exhibitor checklist:
- Submit proposal
- After a librarian confirms your exhibit date, upload a brief description of your exhibit and a representative photo. Please use jpg, gif, png, or webp formats and do not exceed 1MB in file size for your image.
- Download and sign the hold harmless. We must be in possession of both the exhibit description and the hold harmless before your exhibit begins. The hold harmless may be uploaded if you can scan the signed copy; otherwise you can drop it off at the reference desk in advance of your exhibit.
