Art Gallery
We’re proud to showcase local creativity right here at the library! Our gallery features a rotating lineup of artists from Greensboro and the surrounding communities, with new exhibits each month. You’ll find all kinds of work – from painting and photography to fiber arts and more.
Most pieces are for sale, with a portion of the proceeds helping to support the library. It’s a great way to celebrate the arts and support both local artists and our community space.
Interested in sharing your work? We’d love to hear from you – just reach out!
December in the Gallery: Joanne George
We are pleased to welcome local artist Joanne George as our featured exhibitor this month. Joanne’s work invites viewers to slow down and notice the quiet beauty found in the world around us. Through her thoughtful use of color, texture, and composition, her pieces capture the sense of place and gentle storytelling that define so much of life in Vermont.
Joanne’s artwork reflects her deep appreciation for nature, community, and the rhythms of daily life. Her paintings offer both softness and strength, often revealing new details the longer you spend with them. Whether you are a longtime admirer of her work or discovering her art for the first time, we hope you’ll take a moment to explore the exhibit during your next visit.
The show is on display throughout the month, and all are welcome to come enjoy this beautiful collection in our hallway gallery. As always, we are grateful to local artists like Joanne who share their creativity with the library and help make our space feel vibrant and inspiring.
