The District Library Gallery is part of the Art in the Community Programme facilitated by the North Vancouver Community Arts Council in partnership with the District Lynn Valley Main Library and the Friends of the Library. The Art in the Community Programme is designed to enable emerging artists to gain exposure and experience the professional orchestration of an exhibition in a public environment. It further celebrates and promotes artists and exposes the public to art in non-traditional environments.
This dedicated exhibition space is located in the library at the top of the stairs on the second floor with a preview area on the main level by the fireplace lounge. The District Library Gallery accommodates 2D visual artwork in juried bi-monthly exhibitions. Art is programmed into the space through an “Open Call for Artists” bi-annually. Each new exhibition enjoys a Public Opening Reception hosted by the “Friends of the Library”with the artist in attendance.
