- Painting and Drawing
- Fiber Arts

- Mixed Media
- Juried and Curated Themed Exhibitions
About Guy Brewster Hughes

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a fee to exhibit? No.
May I sell my work? Yes. Art may be for sale, but the artist works directly with interested customers. The library can not support the sales process beyond offering contact information.
Do I need to be a professional artist? No. Emerging artists are encouraged to apply.
Can groups submit? Yes.
Is artwork insured? Yes. Each artist provides a listing with the estimated value of each piece to the library before displaying their collection.
How far in advance are exhibitions scheduled? As soon as possible!
How many people will see my show? Our visitor numbers ebb and flow with the seasonal population in Lake Placid. Summer months are most highly sought after, as we receive over 200 visitors daily between the end of June and late August.
