Each month, the Burlingame Public Library highlights the works of a local artist or group of artists in a gallery space on the Main Level of the library.
From May 2017-September 2019, our First Friday Art Series also included an after-hours show to celebrate our painters, illustrators, photographers, sculptors, and even a glassblower. The Burlingame Library extends a huge "thank you" to all the artists who have participated and to those attended!
While First Friday Art Series has come to an end, we are looking to develop a new series to continue highlighting local artists and their techniques in the future. If you are an artist and are interested in participating, please send us an email.
