Discover the creativity of our local youth at the Young Artist’s Gallery, an exhibition located on the lower level of our library, across from the Youth Desk.
Our Young Artist’s Gallery is a celebration of the talent and hard work of young area artists, and we invite everyone to come and view the amazing artwork on display whenever they visit the library. We hope this exhibition will inspire and encourage others to explore their own creative potential.
If you’re an artist aged 10 or younger, we invite you to apply to be featured in our gallery. To apply, simply fill out the application form below after reviewing the guidelines.
