Bottoms Gallery features the works of artists of all ages and abilities, from school-age children to adult professionals. The Gallery has at least eight exhibits per year. The Central Library Gallery is located on the first floor of the Central Library on Main Street. Its large curving window looks out into Phoenix Park and Main Street.
Exhibits change every six to eight weeks and vary from fine art exhibits to educational exhibits.
The Central Library Gallery's highly visible location serves as an excellent showcase for a variety of exhibits. The Cerlan Gallery specializes in contemporary fine art, craft, and folk art of the highest quality by regional, national, and international artists. We represent an unusual mix of artists who range from the highly trained to the self taught and unschooled with seven or eight exhibitions each year. Viewers will find paintings, sculpture, ceramics, prints, mixed media works, and photographs that encompass a wide variety of subjects and styles and vary from realistic to abstract. The building at 522 West Short has been fully renovated and refitted to complement the artwork while preserving the charm of the 1830 structure.
