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:

  • Roll the Dice and Other Works

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

    The Shoreline CT Modern Quilt Guild is a vibrant, diverse group of fiber artists who embrace the modern quilting movement. They will be displaying the results of their 2025 Quilt Challenge, entitled Roll the Dice, as well as other recent works completed by their members. The subject and design of each quilt in the “Roll the Dice” challenge was determined by rolling 3 dice – one for color, one for shape, and one for subject. With parameters determined solely by chance, the quilts are a beautiful kaleidoscope of color and topic! Also on display will be other quilts representing the varied approaches that the Guild members take towards creating beautiful works of art, using fabric, thread, and embellishments. The opening reception will be held on Saturday, August 9, 2025, from 10am to 12pm. Please join us to meet some of the quilters and learn more about the guild and the display!

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 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.
