Submit your artwork for consideration for inclusion in the 2025 "Spectrum of Stories" community art show!
Art Show Entry Period – Spectrum of Stories!
Celebrate the power of storytelling and imagination with "Spectrum of Stories," the Library’s Summer 2025 community art show!
Local teens (ages 13 and up) and adults are invited to submit their original artwork for consideration. Selected entries will be on display in the Library Lobby’s Gallery Hall in July 2025.
All entries should be focused on our "Spectrum of Stories" theme. Need some ideas? Try illustrating a favorite book scene, creating a mixed-media piece inspired by folklore, designing a character portrait, or using color to convey the emotions of a powerful story. Whether your inspiration comes from literature, personal experiences, or fantastical worlds, your art should tell a story in its own unique way.
