CELEBRATING LOCAL ARTISTS

The Forest Room Gallery

Check out our free community gallery space in the Library's Forest Room, open during regular library hours. The Forest Room Gallery features three spotlit walls to showcase framed and two-dimensional pieces, while our 6' x 6' glass display case offers a more intimate display venue for smaller works, such as artisan-crafted materials, curio collections, and smaller three-dimensional works.

We strive to showcase the artwork of local artists and artists who live and create in Curry and Del Norte Counties. Interested in being an upcoming featured artist in the Forest Room Gallery? Fill out the form below and tell us about your work!

Our Exhibits

Our featured gallery exhibits change on a monthly basis. Exhibits are typically assembled by the 2nd of the month, and are disassembled between the 25th and the final day of the month.
