Art Gallery Exhibit Application: Procedure

The Library Gallery Committee will review and either approve or deny this application. If approved:

Exhibit dates, including setup and takedown dates, will be determined by PCLS in consultation with the artist. Exhibits may be scheduled up to six months ahead of the exhibition date. Exhibits will be scheduled for two months at a time.
The exhibitor is responsible for the installation and dismantling of the exhibit. PCLS staff will not assist in handling artwork or other exhibit materials other than equipment or supplies owned by PCLS. All wall-hanging artwork must be wired and ready at time of installation.
The exhibitor will provide the following information for each piece of artwork: title, artist name, date created, medium, dimensions, and price if applicable. PCLS staff may assist with labeling to ensure consistency in Library Galleries.
The exhibitor will provide an inventory list of titles and prices if applicable.
The exhibitor will provide an artist’s statement of approximately 150 words if applicable, and additional information if requested, to be used for promoting the exhibit.
The exhibitor may sell the exhibited artwork, in compliance with the Exhibit Area Policy, but all artwork will remain on display for the duration of the exhibit. PCLS will not be involved in any manner with said transactions. Funds may not be exchanged on library property.
On the last day of the exhibit, the exhibitor is responsible for removing all art from the library before closing.
