Submit your work to join our next community show: April 2026 in the Upstairs Lobby
he Gale Free Library Community Art Show returns in April with a spin on a common saying: “April showers bring May flowers.” What do showers and flowers speak to? Abundance!
What does abundance mean to you? Cambridge Dictionary defines it as: “the quality of having what you want in life.” Merriam Webster says: “an ample quantity; relative degree of plentifulness.” What would you like to celebrate or recognize as abundant? What would you like to develop more of?
All ages and abilities welcome. Any 2D form of art is eligible: painting, poetry, photography. Unframed preferred; matted okay.
