Established in 2008 to honor the visionary leadership of former CEO Colleen Abbott, the gallery provides free exhibition space for both emerging and established local artists. Located on the second floor of the Library, the Colleen Abbott Gallery is dedicated to showcasing original, inspiring work that sparks creativity, communication, and joy.
