Section 2-6 Art Exhibit and Display Case

The Amherst County Public Library provides limited space for display of original works of art and crafts as well as display of private collections. Such exhibits are encouraged as a cultural expression of local community activity.

The use of the Library facilities for exhibits or displays is not a right but a privilege which is subject to review by an Exhibit Committee. This committee of library staff and Friends of the Library must approve any art work or collection before it can be displayed and will determine the most appropriate location for the exhibit.

Collection displays or art exhibits may be shown at the library for 30 day periods of time. An individual or group may not reserve exhibit space more than 2 times in a calendar year. The Library reserves the right to change, reschedule or cancel exhibits when necessary.

Persons wishing to exhibit their work must submit the attached application (Word format) to the Exhibit Committee through the Library Director at least two months prior to the proposed exhibit. No prices, sale notices or advertising other than the artist's name, address and phone number may be affixed to displayed items. Library staff may not act as intermediaries in contacting artists.

The Library is not responsible for loss or damage incurred while the exhibited items are in the library. All items placed in the Library are placed there at the owner's risk.
