Hughes Library Art Gallery

Following the closure of the Pocono Arts Council, the Hughes Art Gallery at the Eastern Monroe Public Library has become an important space for celebrating and showcasing local artistic talent. Located within the Hughes branch, the gallery reflects the library’s commitment to fostering creativity and cultural enrichment in the community.

The gallery provides artists with the opportunity to display their original works for a three-month exhibit, maintaining professional gallery standards to ensure a meaningful experience for both artists and visitors. The library’s agreement with participating artists emphasizes originality, safety, and responsibility. While the library takes reasonable precautions to protect displayed works, artists are encouraged to secure their own insurance, as the library cannot guarantee protection against damage or loss.

Artists retain full control over the sale of their artwork, with no fees required by the library. Donations to support library programs following a sale are welcomed. This collaboration highlights the library’s role as a community hub, supporting artists while enriching Monroe County’s cultural landscape.

If you’re interested in exhibiting your artwork, please fill out a
