Local artists have an opportunity for their work to be displayed in the Lompoc Public Library’s Grossman Gallery.

The library is calling for Central Coast artists to submit work samples and be considered as an exhibitor in the Grossman Gallery. The works will be on display within the 2024 and 2025 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 exhibited the following month at the Village Library in Vandenberg Village, 3755 Constellation Road.

To be considered for these opportunities, Central Coast 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 performed by the Lompoc Public Library’s Art Advisory Committee at its meeting on Thursday, Feb. 8. Please deliver the exhibit-ready (framed/finished) pieces to the Grossman Gallery between 4 p.m. and 4:45 p.m. on Feb. 8, and pick them up after the committee meeting ends around 5:45 p.m.

The Art Advisory Committee will seek a balanced selection of media for exhibition. Each artist exhibition is expected to last for one to two months. Exhibits may include two-dimensional painting, photography, and mixed media, and must not protrude more than 6 inches from the wall when hung.

Artists must be at a minimum 18 years old and 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.
