Public Art Galleries

The City of Lafayette invites artists to submit work for consideration for exhibition in its public gallery spaces. These exhibitions support local and regional artists while enriching the cultural life of the community through rotating displays in civic spaces.

Exhibitions are hosted at several locations, including:

• The Community Hall Gallery at the Lafayette Library and Learning Center (LLLC)
• The Homework Center at the LLLC
• The Display Case at the LLLC
• The Town Hall Theatre Gallery

Applications are now accepted on a rolling basis, with exhibitions scheduled seasonally:

• Fall (August - October)
• Winter (November - January)
• Spring (March - June)

Exhibition dates are finalized closer to each show period based on space availability and scheduling.

Applications are reviewed by the Public Art Committee at its regular monthly meetings. Please note that scheduling is dependent on available exhibition space, and once work is accepted, substitutions are not permitted.
