The Lompoc Public Library is offering Central Coast artists an opportunity for their work to be displayed in the Grossman Gallery. The library is calling for local creators to submit work samples to be considered for exhibit during the 2026-27 calendar years.

In addition to the exhibits at the Grossman Gallery in the Lompoc Library, 501 E. North Ave., a smaller continuation show will be on display the following month at the Village Library, 3755 Constellation Road, Vandenberg Village.

To be considered, artists must provide a representative body of work; at least six exhibit-ready pieces that will be evaluated for technique, expression, and stylish achievement.

The evaluation will be done by the Lompoc Public Library’s Art Advisory committee at its meeting on Thursday, Sept. 18.

Those who want to have their work considered should deliver exhibit-ready (framed/finished) pieces to Grossman Gallery, 4-4:45 p.m. Sept. 18, and pick them up at 5:45 p.m. after the committee meets.

The committee will seek a balanced selection of media for display. Each artist exhibit is expected to last one to two months. Exhibits may include two-dimensional painting, photography, and mixed media; works must not protrude more than six inches from the wall when hung.

Artists must be at 18 years old and be from the Central Coast area. Possible exceptions to the age requirement would be at the art advisory committee’s discretion.

One and two-person shows are welcome. All works must be original and obey copyright laws.
