This is an application form for the Gallery in the old stacks in Munday Library on the 2nd floor.
Proposals are being reviewed, please submit by Sept 22 in Fall and Dec 1 by Spring.
Important facts:
- A typical exhibit runs 3-6 weeks, with 2-5 days for install, and 1-2 days for deinstall.
- A single point of contact will be required to meet with the director in the gallery at least once prior to installation to discuss logistics and the hanging of the exhibit in advance. Ideally this would be 4-6 weeks prior to the opening of your exhibition.
- Exhibitors are responsible for preparing all materials for exhibit.
- There is currently no budget for this gallery, all expenses will need to be funded by the applicant or their department/school/office/student club, etc.
- Posters* and/or artwork must be ready to hang (ex. picture frames need wires or hangers on the back for a screw, posters can simply be stapled to the walls, however, nails and push pins do not work well).
- Materials and tools needed for your installation may include staples, screws, lights, drill, ladder, and so on, and are available through the director of the gallery.
- PR and marketing are the responsibility of the applicant. Be sure to share your event to the university event calendar.
- Other considerations: signage/posters* around campus, reception/event planning, and the need to coordinate with the libraries event schedule.
*Printing may be handled by the VPL (VISU Print Lab) at the expense of the applicant or their department/school/office/student club etc. (no less than two-weeks notice prior to install is required to print any materials and at the availability of the lab to print).
Please visit the location to see how much space there is to use. A map of the walls can be shared with you.
