ARTS & CULTURE

We are proud to be a destination for arts and cultural programming in Geneva. Visit our lobby gallery to view curated exhibitions, open-call community shows, student work, and more. Our gallery’s mission is to bring informative and engaging exhibitions to our community and to promote the work of artists at all ages and stages of their careers, from local students to working professionals.

In our 2nd floor exhibition space you will find Freya, the head and tail of the Viking ship which sailed from Norway to Chicago for the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition, as well as two scale models of the Geneva Public Library’s old and new buildings, constructed entirely from LEGO® bricks.

Our library’s campus is also home to several engaging pieces of public art. Click the buttons below for more information.
