  3. Artists may exhibit once in any 24-month period.​

How to exhibit:

  1. Works to be exhibited must be in good condition and ready to mount with hooks and wires attached.
  2. The exhibitor is to provide a biography and explanation of exhibit, which should include titles, sizes and medium of each work, printed on an 8.5 X 11 sheet of paper for display.
  3. Each exhibitor is responsible for hanging the show. Library staff cannot provide this service. A stepladder is available at the library.
  4. Exhibits are to be mounted on the first day of the month or as near to that date as possible. ​

Taking down the exhibit:

  1. Exhibits must be removed at the end of the 2nd month by the exhibitor.
  2. If an exhibit is not removed in a timely manner, or other arrangements made in advance, the art will be removed from the exhibit area.
  3. If art is left at the library more than 30 days after exhibit has ended and other arrangements have not been made, the art will be considered a gift to the LLF*.
The LLF, as with all gifts, will make the final determination on art gifts.
