Virtual ExhibitionJuried Regional Exhibit 2020
Virtual Exhibit | Library Arts Center | September 4-October 31, 2020
The Library Arts Center is pleased to present the annual favorite Juried Regional Exhibition. This exhibit highlights the diverse and creative talent from regional artists residing in New Hampshire and Vermont. Painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, photography and mixed media are all featured. While we are disappointed that we were unable to present this beautiful work in the gallery, as originally planned, due to the pandemic, we are thrilled to present the show virtually, as it allows for a further reach for the exhibit to be viewed by members of the region and beyond.
Congratulations to this year’s Selections Winners
When entering their work for the Juried Regional, artists also had the opportunity to compete for the Selections Competition. The following artists were awarded, by the juror, the opportunity to present a larger body of their work in a group exhibit in the Library Arts Center Gallery in 2021.
