Presented by The Friends of The Brentwood Library:
Each
month, The Brentwood Library hosts two local artists on the Friends of
the Brentwood Library (FOBL) Gallery Wall and Showcase Display. Please
take a few extra moments the next time you visit to pause
and savor these artists' creations.
Each artist who displays their collection on the FOBL Gallery Wall contributes one piece to the our Art Lending Library. With over 230 pieces to choose from, patrons
are able to check them out for ninety days. This artwork is a beautiful
addition to the library that includes original artwork in acrylics,
oils, pen and ink, pastels, photographs, and water colors. A full,
detailed description of most items can be found in the Digital
Collection on the library’s website.
