Exhibitions are now also being held in the Homework Room, which is open during library hours.

Town Hall Theatre Gallery Collaboration

It is with great pleasure that the Public Art Committee announces that Lafayette’s historic Town Hall Theatre is a venue for exhibitions of local artists. This collaboration allows the City to expand programming to better serve the cultural arts communities in the area. Managing Director Dennis Markam has generously offered to open the theatre for receptions. More information may be seen by clicking on Town Hall Theatre Lobby Gallery.

Young Artist Virtual Gallery

The arts are a fundamental way for youth to express themselves.  The Public Art Committee seeks to invest in the broader community by showcasing this important perspective, and established The Young Artist Virtual Gallery which features the work of local, up-and-coming young artists. Visit the gallery here.
