Current Exhibits at the Library

Join us for openings and receptions to meet the artists and new friends!

The dramatic, fun and exciting work of local and nationally-known artists contribute to the beauty, cultural interest and community at Tompkins County Public Library. Throughout the year, curated collections are hung, displayed and and featured throughout the Library.

Call for Artists!

David O. Watkins, Curator, and TCPL seek artists to participate in an exhibit Through Their Eyes: Grandparents and Grandchildren to be displayed at Tompkins County Public Library July 26, through September 14, 2013.

How artists see their grandchildren or their grandparents - in reality or abstraction, photographs, or any artistic medium - is the focus of this exhibition. We are looking for exceptional and unique images, portraits, and visual representations of grandchildren and grandparents. Read more >>
