The Ledyard Gallery is the Howe Library’s space for exhibiting work by artists of the Upper Valley. In addition to exhibits by individual artists, we host annual group exhibits such as the Elden Murray contest, the Hanover High Art Show, and the 55+ Art Show.

Artist Statement:
The Art & Poetry Challenge – living, breathing proof of the power of the arts—is an annual contest hosted by the Racial Unity Team. In 2023 New Hampshire residents were invited to submit an original poem or visual work of art inspired by that year’s theme. Award-Winning works of students and adults from all over the state will be on display.
