About Brand Library Art Galleries
"The Art Galleries of the Brand Library and Art Center offer some of the largest and most stunning exhibition spaces in Southern California and the opportunity for Glendale residents and others to view art in a magnificent setting in their own community. The curated exhibitions offer an array of art experiences that reflect a variety of media, styles, and cultures in the art world, provide diverse viewing experiences, and allow for many tastes. Works will represent individual artists, guest curators for group exhibitions, or art associations throughout California, particularly Southern California. Artists are selected by the merit of their work and to fit into a balanced schedule. For many exhibitions, at least two artists are selected, one for the Atrium Gallery, the other(s) for the Skylight Gallery. Group shows may include three or more artists."
