Bayard Public Library invites all artists in Grant County to showcase their artwork on the walls of our conference rooms! Exhibiting your work at the library offers great exposure, with year-round programs and events bringing many visitors through the space.
We also host an Opening Reception for each show and help with promotion to ensure your art gets seen. Exhibits can remain up for up to three months. Please note that artwork must be wall-mountable and not protrude for safety reasons.
