 It is the mission of Waukesha Public Library to provide a welcoming and dynamic environment where citizens of all ages can find the inspiration, ideas, and information to achieve their full potential.

 

@ YOUR LIBRARY

 

Rotating Art Collection 

 


Artist Dint Sweitzer's work on display at the Library.
   

Are you a Waukesha County artist looking for a place to display your work? Waukesha Public Library is the place! The Library offers a gallery wall where artists may display their two dimensional works of art. A different artist or group of artists is featured on a rotating schedule. 


The collection, coordinated by the Library's Public Art Committee, seeks to present a variety of works by local artists, help local artists increase their public exposure and promote art in the City and County. 

Interested artists should complete the Application for Gallery Space available at the Reference Desk or online. For more information please contact Administrative Assistant Joan Quinlan.
