Art Exhibit Space

The library’s gallery space offers patrons the chance to view and appreciate the work of local artists.

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:

  • The Country School

    June 2nd – 29th in the Hallway and Meeting Room Galleries

    K-Grade 8 students worked with a broad range of materials, ranging from graphite, markers, soft pastels, acrylics, inks, collage, watercolor, and more to create a diverse selection of artwork. Along with considering various media, students explored a variety of artists to inspire this art. 

    The Country School is an independent day school serving Preschool through Grade 8. It is located in Madison, CT. It offers a comprehensive visual arts program with students completing extensive 2D and 3D artwork during their time at the school.

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:

  1. Submit a proposal
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
