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!
May’s Featured Artist: Anaiah M. Carbone
Exhibit June 03-30, 2025
Join us throughout June to view a collection of paintings and sketches by local artist Anaiah M. Carbone. A former student of painter David Brewster, Carbone presents a series of works exploring imagery of statues and angels.
