Art & Music in the Gallery
Since 1901, the Lawrence Library has hosted art exhibitions and live music performances.
Art Gallery
The Art Gallery hosts a new exhibit every month. Annual highlights are the Squanicook Colonial Quilt Guild show in the spring, and the student art show in the summer. In December, the Gallery transforms into a winter wonderland!
