Brand Library & Art Center and the Brand Associates are pleased to present Brand 54: 54th Annual National Juried Exhibition of Works on Paper. This year’s annual exhibition will feature artworks from around the country chosen by juror Tracy Bartley.

Works on Paper will include new artists as well as artists from past years; all are offering us the opportunity to explore the versatility of the paper medium.

The Brand Associates is an all-volunteer non-profit that raises funds to support the extensive free and public events offered at Brand including gallery exhibitions, classical and popular music performances, film screenings, dance performances, and activities for people of all ages. Entry fees and commissions from the sale of artworks from Brand 54 will be used to continue the important cultural programming that Brand Library & Art Center brings to the community.
