Yellow Wall Gallery

We are very excited for spring here at the Bridgton Public Library! We are welcoming the season with some beauty and some thanks. We are hosting an Artists Reception here on Saturday, March 21st 2:30-4:00. We would like to thank all of the artists who have loaned their works to our Yellow Wall Gallery in our Resource Room since July 2017. Thank you for making our library a place of beauty and creativity!

Particular preference will be given to works that embody the ideas of Bridgton, Public, or Libraries. We have wall space for two dimensional objects, but have other spaces available for three dimensional objects as well. We will work with artists to find the right place for their works, and are excited to support local artists, emerging or established.

So thanks to the artists who make our lives beautiful.
