Art Gallery

Douro-Dummer Public Library is also home to a local art gallery. The art gallery is supported by a small group headed by an assigned board member (Tina Fridgen) with administrative support from the library (CEO Maggie Pearson).  

We welcome you to visit the gallery and participate in our events and workshops.  Updates about current and upcoming shows will be shared on social media, in the newsletter, and on this webpage. 

Gallery Mandate
 The goals of the Douro-Dummer Library Art Gallery include:
  • showcasing works of art created by local artists, both amateur and professional, including adults, children and youth
  • creating space for gathering in celebration of local art
  • inspiring creativity in our community and in our youth
  • generating a small amount of revenue to host gallery openings and free art workshops for the community, and support local art related events run by the library and the friends of the library group
  • optimizing use of municipal space and encouraging new visitors to our public library
