Burlington Public Library
  22 Sears Street
  Burlington, MA  01803

The Trustees of the Burlington Public Library welcome artists to exhibit work in the Library at 22 Sears Street.  A spacious, well-lit area has been designated "The Gallery" and amateur and professional artists of all ages are invited to participate in solo and group juried shows.  Each artist is generally assigned a month to exhibit work. 

    The Library also has glass-fronted, locking display cases in both the entry and exit lobbies at the front of the building.  They are ideal for displaying three-dimensional objects, but can also be used to display posters, photographs, or papers that are mounted on a firm backing. 

If you would like to exhibit your work in either The Gallery or the glass display cases Click here for an application form, or pick one up at the library.  The Burlington Library is handicapped accessible.

Display Specifications

The Gallery
Selected areas of wall space on the main floor of the Library are used for our “Gallery.”  Stainless steel cables suspended from a permanent track are fitted with adjustable hooks to hold paintings or mounted prints at varying heights.  The works to be displayed DO need to be fitted with wires or hooks of their own to facilitate hanging.  There are 3 columns of wall space, measuring 36”, 36” and 26” wide, plus a separate wall with another 90” of space currently outfitted to hold displays.  An easel is provided to hold a description of the exhibit, plus background information about the artist.

Lobby Cases
Glass fronted, locking display cases are located in both the entry and exit lobbies at the front of the building.  Each case contains nine separate display areas, in rows of three, built into a wall.  The three center areas measure 16" high and 23" wide.  Flanking those are six display areas measuring 16" high and 18.5" wide.  The glass cases are lighted.
