Olney Library Exhibit

The current exhibit of original artwork by OAA members is of original artwork. Please stop by during library hours to view these delightful artworks in various mediums. All artwork is for sale – – but no one is visiting the Library at the moment.

NOTE: If you have trouble viewing all the Library pictures in the carousel, please refresh your screen.

Due to the corona virus the Olney Library is closed and we are not sure when it will reopen. The exhibits will resume as soon as the Library reopens.. On the other hand there are several online galleries on this website. Member artists can add or update an image of their work in the Member Gallery on this site and can also submit images of pictures that were included in past shows but had not been sent in previously.
