See Local Art at the Library

"At a time in which both libraries and arts organizations are often having to do more with less, it makes sense for these two parts of our culture to support each other." Library as Incubator Project

Throughout the year, we display work by local artists at the Main Library in downtown Hillsborough. We can often accommodate more than one artist or group of artists. For additional information contact Libbie Hough, communications manager.
