The Lebanon Public Libraries loves artists, and being a community hub as well as a resource center, we would like to support our local arts community by offering artists the opportunity to publicly showcase their work. Using a highly-visible, centrally located Community Room, our goal is to display high quality original artwork, with preference being given to local artists and subject matter. There is no age limit, and all levels of experience are encouraged to submit. This will be an ongoing process; therefore, submissions will be accepted year-round. Here are the ground rules:
- Prior to display, all exhibits and artists must be approved by the Library. They will be responsible
for the scheduling and organization of exhibits.
- The library reserves the right to reject any artist application and will make the final call on all
submissions.
- The Library will work with artists in setting up displays. The library has the right to make the
final decision on how all of its exhibits are arranged.
- The artist may not change, add to, or remove any items in a display during its scheduled time.
Changes may only be made by authorized library staff.
- Artists will be in charge of creating any artist bio/statement for display next to the exhibit.
- Artists will be in charge of providing a price list for pieces if they choose to sell their work.
- All displays will be set-up and removed on dates determined by the library. The library has
limited storage space. It is imperative that materials lent to displays be dropped off and picked
up at designated times.
- The library is not responsible for theft or damage, nor does it carry insurance to protect
items loaned for display. Insurance is the sole responsibility of the artist.
