Artists

The Trustees of the Burlington Public Library welcome artists to exhibit work in the Library. A spacious, well-lit area on the first floor has been designated "The Gallery" and amateur and professional artists of all ages are invited to participate in solo and group juried shows. Each artist is generally assigned a month to exhibit work.

The Library also has glass-fronted locking display cases in the entry and exit lobbies at the front of the building. They are ideal for displaying three-dimensional objects, but can also be used to display posters, photographs, or papers that are mounted on a firm backing.

If you are interested in displaying your work, visit our website or contact Michael Wick, Assistant Director, to learn more or to book a time for you to display your art.
