Hours: Monday-Thursday 9 a.m.- 6 p.m., Friday & Saturday, 9 a.m.- 5 p.m.
The Library experienced extensive damage from a burst water pipe in late December 2022 and many areas of our Downtown Library are closed while undergoing renovation. This closure requires us to extend the Artwalk 2023-24 calendar to the 2024-25 exhibit year. We will also be extending the deadline for submissions.
The Library will keep the ArtWalk submission online portal open until February 28, 2024. If your work is selected by our panel of judges (convening in March 2024) to show on the ArtWalk, your show will be on exhibit for a 6 to 7 week period between September 2024 and June 2025, one year later than originally anticipated.
Thank you for your understanding.

Located on the third floor of the Downtown Library, Hartford Public Library’s ArtWalk gallery offers unique visibility and exposure, adding to the increasing vibrancy of Downtown Hartford. Rising above Main Street, the stunning state-of-the art gallery was made possible through the generosity of donors, especially the Beatrice Fox Auerbach Foundation at Hartford Foundation for Public Giving.
SEEKING SUBMISSIONS
The ArtWalk seeks submissions starting September for up to four (4) exhibitions to be mounted the following season, beginning in September 2023. Artists working in all media are encouraged to apply.
ELIGIBILITY
Artists living and/or working in the Greater Hartford area will be given priority. Students, emerging, or established artists are all eligible. Group shows will be considered. Artists must have a body of work sufficient for exhibition on the ArtWalk by the date of the exhibition.
