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:
This Month in the Gallery:
-
George Schaub
January 2nd – January 31st in the Hallway and Meeting Room Galleries
“Medley” features work by Guilford resident George Schaub, who has been actively involved with exploring imagery and expression during his 40 year career in the publishing, book work, and the art gallery scene. The medley includes a variety of work from the early 1980’s through today, and includes monochrome prints, pastels, and excerpts and illustrations from numerous gallery shows and books. Included in the exhibit is an essay entitled “Grass Island Shells”, with a portion of all sales from that group to be donated to the Guilford Preservation Alliance for their work on relocating the red shack, an icon of Guilford’s harbor.
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 a proposal
- After a librarian confirms your exhibit date, complete and sign the hold harmless
- Upload a brief description of your exhibit and a representative photo. 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.
