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!

Live Music - Free Concerts and Open Mic Nights
Free concerts are held monthly, except over the summer. Open Mic Night is held each month on the 3rd Friday night (September through May), Great news - Kevin Gibbons has offered to emcee open mic after Deb retires in June!

Shakedown Station plays 'music in the moment'. Gary Lopez (guitar/vox) & Peter Borden (bass/vox) bring a unique flavor of the good ole Grateful Dead, Little Feat, Bowie, Dylan, Stones, U2, Floyd, Radiohead, Bob Marley, Beatles & more through improvisational jams and just plain fun. Join us for a fun, free, high energy night out!
