About
Overview
The Cedar Rapids Public Library has dedicated exhibition spaces for local art across three locations: a gallery on the third floor of the Downtown Library, a gallery at Ladd Library, and display cases near the skywalk at the Downtown Library. The new Busse Branch library will open in September 2026 to include an art gallery as well.
