The District Library Gallery is part of the Art in the Community Programme facilitated by the North Vancouver Community Arts Council in partnership with the District Lynn Valley Main Library and the Friends of the Library. This programme enables emerging artists to gain exposure and experience the professional orchestration of an exhibition in a public environment. It also exposes the public to art in non-traditional environments.
This dedicated exhibition space is located at the top of the stairs on the second floor with a preview area on the main level by the fireplace lounge. Each new exhibition enjoys a Public Opening Reception, with the artist in attendance, on a Saturday afternoon, hosted by the “Friends of the Library”.

Anne Gudrun
From a young age Anne Gudrun has intuitively observed how lines, colours and shapes define the essence and personality of things. As an artist she explores her subject from her own unique vision of the world, and her paintings are interpretations and expressions of what she sees and experiences.
Whether creating the figurative representation of a person or the abstraction of a flower, she explores the interactions between the shapes and colours on canvas; each colour and shape becoming its own character and contributing to the work as a whole. Her paintings reflect the beauty of nature with bold vibrancy and an innate sense of design.
Born in Toronto, raised in North Vancouver, Anne Gudrun attended Art College in Norway and her work is in private collections in both Norway and Canada.
