EXHIBITING ARTWORK ATHE AIRDRIE PUBLIC LIBRARY

All exhibits may consist of one or more art forms or may follow a theme
We won’t accept any artwork that is hateful in anyway. Acceptance and display of any work of art is at the discretion of the library and decisions are final.
We aim to hold each exhibit for a minimum of eight (8) weeks. Dates will be agreed upon during the contract discussion.
All artwork must be framed and/or wired and ready to hang. Sawtooth hangers cannot be used.
Artists provide an inventory list form provided by the library. This list will be signed by both parties at time of install and take home.
Art can be for sale however prices cannot be displayed with art. An accompanying price book with business cards can be left at the library for viewers to contact artists directly. See our Pressbooks Public Self-Publishing Platform, thanks to your library, you can now create, edit, format and generate print-ready books! https://marigold.pressbooks.pub/
