Public Exhibits

In order to fulfill the library’s mission of community outreach, education, and showcasing the arts, the library has made available a limited amount of public exhibition space. Requests to mount exhibitions should be submitted in writing to the Mancos Public Library’s Executive Director with the understanding that exhibitions should be of general interest to the Mancos Community. Acceptance and rejection of any proposed displays is the prerogative of the Executive Director.

 

Exhibition spaces are limited and must conform to available indoor locations. Exhibitions should not exceed 4’ deep by 6’ wide by 7’ tall (in the case of freestanding exhibit) or 1’ deep by 8’ tall by 6’ wide (in the case of hanging exhibit). Displays that do not conform to the specifications will be reviewed on a case by case basis by the Executive Director. Exhibitions requested to be outdoors must be pre-approved by the Library Board.

Displays are limited in duration, not to exceed 8 weeks without explicit written approval by the Executive Director. All exhibit requests must abide by Senate Bill 24-216 Section 2 (i) [placeholder until signed into law]. Library management reserves the right to rescind any agreement to display at any time.  Furthermore, exhibitors should understand that the library assumes no liability for the exhibited works and any insurance for the display is the responsibility of the exhibitor. Any exhibit that has the potential to damage library property should have the Mancos Public Library listed as additionally insured on insurance documentation. The display of an exhibit does not equate to endorsement nor support of the display or its message.
