Artist of the Month
Every month, the library highlights a local artist by exhibiting their work in the Dr. E. Irene Boardman Community Room.
The exhibit area is open to the public during regular library hours. The Community Room is used for programs and events; so, guests wanting to view the artwork should check ahead of time to see if the exhibit will be accessible.
If you would like to exhibit art at the Prospect Public Library, we would love to host you. Call us at 203.758.3001, email korenprospectlibrary@gmail.com.​, or complete the New Artist Submission Form below.

Artist Bio:
As a self-taught artist over the last 50 years, Maureen Burns has pursued a diversified approach to trying various media. She is most known for her watercolor holiday and seasonal window illustrations of local storefronts, such as Brunch House, Frankies of Reidville Drive, and Prospect Martial Arts. She also illustrates the windows inside of the Prospect Public Library.
After retiring two years ago from St. Mary’s Hospital and West Haven VA Medical Center as a Registered Sleep Technologist, she is now able to fully dedicate her time to art.
Some eclectic projects have included customized corn hole sets, murals, portraits, wood carvings, face painting, and posters.
Meet Maureen at her upcoming Artist Reception on Saturday, November 1 from 11:45 AM to 1:45 PM at the Prospect Public Library.
