Exhibit Proposal Guidelines
The primary emphasis is the exhibition of contemporary regional art through proposed or invitational one-person, group and juried exhibitions. A secondary emphasis is curatorial exhibitions of works that follow a specific theme from the library’s or other public or private collections. There is no charge for the use of the exhibit space, and no fees will be charged to view library exhibits or displays. All proposals are subject to the approval of the Gallery Manager and gallery staff. If accepted, the artist will supply high-quality, minimum 4" x 6"/300 dpi digital images of artwork included in the exhibit. The Gallery Manager and gallery staff will review proposals. The gallery staff, and when applicable, the artist or collector will install the objects for display. The Gallery Manager and gallery staff determine the exhibit schedule.
Exhibit Proposal:- There is no form required for gallery exhibit proposals.
- Individuals or organizations making application for exhibition of their art are required to submit a portfolio, preferably 12 – 20 images, with an explanation of their collection as it comprises an exhibit.
- Artists are asked to submit a resumé, written record of their exhibitions and awards received, a biography and an artist statement.
- The Library reserves the right to decline, reschedule or postpone exhibits.

forging artnerships
want vs. need
Last summer we asked visitors to tell us what makes something valuable and consensus agreed on the intangible: meaning. Your child's first ceramic blob, the hotel keycard from your honeymoon, the ugly blanket your best friend made for Christmas one year—meaning appears to be the driving force behind keeping this stuff.
So, consider this: if subject matter determined the cost of a painting, would it affect the painting's value if size, materials and time invested remained the same? Are price and worth interchangeable? The constant tension between cost and value when experiencing and/or purchasing art is why I fell hard for New York City artists (husband and wife), Cristine Santora and Justin Gignac.
The Sabatini Art Gallery is located a short distance from the Library entrance, just to the right of the rotunda. Exhibits, programs and events are free, casual and open to the public.
Hours are the same as the Library, except when closed for change of exhibition.
