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:
-
Guilford Art League
March 2nd to March 30th in the Meeting Room and Hallway Galleries
This is the Annual Member show of the Guilford Art League. Our members are encouraged to submit a piece of their art work to be exhibited in the Guilford Library during the month of March. The optional theme this year is “Landscape of the Mind” which asks the question “how are you seeking to bridge the world of the mind with the world outside?”
The Guilford Art League promotes an interest in the arts and provides support for regional artists. We have more than 150 members from all over Connecticut.
There are many opportunities for members to exhibit their work and meet fellow artists. We hold two member shows each year, have our spring Carry-in Supper with a speaker, participate in the summer EXPO on the Guilford Green, and offer quarterly exhibition opportunities in the Guilford Community Center. The Annual Juried Show is held in September in the Gallery at the Guilford Art Center. More info may be obtained on the website: www.guilfordartleague.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 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. Please use jpg, gif, png or webp for your image. 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.
