Every other month, the library features the work of local artists or a local artist group in the historic rotunda for the Art @ your library® exhibit. The exhibit is open to the public during regular library hours. Works of art are also available for purchase.
The latest Art @ your library® runs August 6-September 24 and features the Plein Air Painters of Dubuque. This exhibit is open to the public during regular library hours. Join us for a special Art @ Your Library Open House on Saturday, Sept. 25, from 1-3 p.m. View the exhibit, meet the artists, and see the tradition of Plein air painting in action outside the library.
The Plein Air Painters of Dubuque are comprised of local and regional artists that work in acrylic, oil, and watercolor. This group of artists meet regularly at various outdoor locations to paint. Plein air is French for “in the open air.” So plein air painting is done in an outdoor setting, similar to the Impressionist tradition of painting from nature.
