From the Curator:
The Central Rappahannock Regional Library is
a great place to exhibit artwork. Public visibility is high. As many
as 1,000 people daily visit each of the four main CRRL branches,
many of them entering through the gallery spaces. Giving local
artists an opportunity to display their work publicly is an
important aspect of the library's role as cultural center for the
community.
Exhibitions run for one month at the CRRL Headquarters Library, the John Musante Porter Memorial Branch, the Salem Church Branch, and the Melvin Snow Memorial Branch. The Atrium Gallery is maintained by Curator, Maggie Bice, and Assistant Curator, Linda Levine.
