Thank you for your interest in exhibiting at the Wayland Free Public Library. Please take a self-guided tour of the Library prior to applying so that you are familiar with the available exhibit areas and size limitation.
Individuals and groups who have been given exhibit space are encouraged to review the Library’s policy on using display and exhibit space. The Policy is available online at: waylandlibrary.org/aboutus/about-wpl/welcome/policies/exhibit-policy/
The Library is not responsible for loss or damage to any items on display. The Library does not insure any exhibits. The exhibitor assumes full responsibility for loss or damage to articles on display in the Library.
The artist or exhibitor must designate one person who will be responsible for hanging and removing the exhibit. The exhibitor must coordinate dates for hanging and removing an exhibit through the office of the Library’s administrative assistant. Library staff is not available to assist with hanging exhibits.
No thumbtacks or adhesives may be used on the Raytheon Room walls. All descriptive labels should be affixed to the picture frames, not to the walls. Owners of the items are responsible for hanging their materials. In the Raytheon Room, there are chains with hooks suspended from the molding that are to be used for hanging.
Exhibit space should not be used to advertise a commercial enterprise. However, a handout listing the items by number with prices is permitted. Artists are expected to contribute 20% of the sales to the Wayland Library.
The Library requires a brief description of the exhibit and sample images for our monthly newsletter and Wayland Town Crier. Exhibitor must provide this publicity material at the time of application.
Exhibitors may book the Library’s Meeting Room for a reception. Use of the Meeting Room will be allowed subject to the terms and conditions outlined in the Library’s Meeting Room policy.
Exhibits are generally scheduled for a thirty-day period.
