The Central Library wants to support local artists. Due to the festivals being cancelled we are looking to create a page of artists and their websites that we will promote on the Central Library’s web site. The public would then see this page and would be able to contact you and make purchases of your work. If you are interested, please fill out the form below. If you have any problems with the form please contact artlitref@gmail.com.
