Now that the new Library has opened, there is so much more space. Even with so much of the exterior walls being floor-to-ceiling windows, there are still plenty of places inside that could do with a little decoration.

One of the primary purposes of the Friends of the Library is to seek out and acquire art for the Library. As such, we’re looking for a large, signature piece to mount above the fireplace.

As such, we’re looking for an artist who lives or works within a 50-mile radius of Brunswick to create some art for the Library.
