The Blue Mountains Public Library’s (BMPL) Gallery at L.E. Shore is a single-room exhibition space and the main programming hub for the BMPL’s L.E. Shore branch.
Because The Gallery wears many hats, the space is often busy with a library program or a private event. For patrons, this means there might be something fun for them to join in on; for exhibiting artists, this lively atmosphere offers a unique opportunity to connect their work with a wide audience.
As a complement to library programming, The Gallery hosts an ongoing schedule of exhibitions and arts events, which are proudly steered by the Arts & Culture Council (ACC), a dedicated volunteer committee passionate about bringing the arts to our community.
