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.
