Current/Upcoming Exhibitions & Receptions


Opening Reception: ARTICIPATE Group Show
on Sunday, March 22 at 2:00 pm
Various works across mediums on display: March 8 - April 19
Articipate is a Berkley-based art collective, founded in 2013, comprised of a passionate team of instructors and a wide range of talented artists. 

We’re so excited to have them back for their second Group Show here at the library, to help kick off the spring season! Rooted in a shared passion for artistic exploration and community engagement, the Articipate Collective champions both emerging and established voices, offering art lovers a rich experience through thoughtful compositions, bold colors, and evocative themes.

Mark your calendars for March 22: an opportunity to see a dazzling variety of works, meet the artists in person, enjoy complimentary refreshments, and live music!
