PROCEDURE FOR DISPLAYS AND EXHIBITS
The staff member who is arranging the
exhibit should have the exhibitor complete a DISPLAY/
EXHIBIT LIST. If the value of the exhibit is $25,000
or less, or if there are not items with an individual
value of more than $5,000, it is not necessary to have
the exhibitor sign the Waiver. If the value of the
exhibit is more than $25,000, or if any single item
has a value of $5,000 or more, the exhibitor must sign
the Waiver.
Sign the DISPLAY/EXHIBIT list, staple
it to the Waiver (if present), and return the forms
to the Library Director, for filing in the office.
Due to demand, an artist may be limited
to one exhibit every three years.
A cart and toolbox with some supplies
may be requested from the staff member who arranges
your exhibit if you so desire.
