Background
The Caroline County Public Library has had a long relationship with the arts through its programming of performing arts and hanging exhibits of photos and paintings in its Central Library Meeting Room. It also has had a long time relationship with the Caroline County Council of the Arts in mutual support of the arts in our county.
The Library has three branches: Central Library in Denton, Federalsburg Branch, and North County Branch in Greensboro.
Currently the Central Library is equipped to exhibit framed works in its large meeting room, the second floor hallway leading to the large meeting room, and small study room on the first floor.
The Federalsburg Branch has a meeting room that would accommodate a smaller exhibit.
Guidelines and Process
Application:
Art Selection:
Art will be selected based on meeting the library’s Strategic Plan under Education and Enrichment, so selection will focus on art from Caroline County Public Schools and Homeschoolers and local artist’s work depicting Caroline County’s natural and historical heritage.
Set up / Take Down:
• The artist is responsible for hanging their own work
• The library will provide the hanging elements
• Any other wall attachments must be approved by Executive Director or designee prior to display day
• The Art Exhibit committee will preview the exhibit before it is open to the public
Opening Receptions will be coordinated by the artist and the Art Exhibit Committee.
