The Blackstone Library invites artists to complete an application to exhibit their work in our Artist’s Circle Gallery. Download and complete the fillable application form, then submit it along with an artist’s statement and 3-4 examples of the artist’s work. Submissions may be given in person at the library or emailed to Deirdre Santora: dsantora@blackstonelibrary.org. The library is especially interested in working with artists who will consider combining an exhibit with an opportunity for a demonstration or discussion.
Exhibit Guidelines:
The space available for exhibits includes the glass case in the 2nd floor rotunda gallery (103” x 26” x 10”) and the walls in the 2nd floor rotunda gallery. There are picture rails and hooks-we recommend that work be hung with wire (sawtooth hangers will not work). You may not use nails, tape or anything that may harm the walls. Hanging the exhibit is the responsibility of the artist. Labels and signage for items on display in the glass case are the responsibility of the exhibitor. Exhibits will be installed on or after the first day of the month and removed by the last day unless other arrangements are made. Please do not post prices; we recommend that you provide business cards so that interested parties may contact you directly.
Publicity:
Publicity is the responsibility of the exhibitor and may include press releases to local media/art magazines, flyers, postcards. The library will display your flyers and postcards, and may post information about the exhibit (including photos and artist statement) on our website and newsletters. Insurance: The library’s insurance policy does not include works on exhibit; therefore the library cannot be responsible for loss or damage that may occur while your work is on exhibit.
