By my electronic signature below, I understand and agree that my opportunity to exhibit at the LeRoy Collins Leon County Public Library is subject to the following terms and conditions:

I understand that all exhibits are subject to the terms of the LeRoy Collins Leon County Public Library's Exhibits Policy (No. 21-4)

I agree to install and uninstall my exhibit.

Installation must be completed no less than 24 hours prior to the start of the exhibition.

Artwork must be ready to hang with two-dimensional work having appropriate matting and/or framing.

The Library will provide a hanging system and/or T-pins; no additional hooks, nails, glue, tape, or other fasteners or adhesives may be used to attach art to the walls.

Once an exhibit is installed, any substantive changes may be made only with approval of the Library Advisory Board. The Library Special Services Coordinator can approve minor changes.

It is the responsibility of the exhibitor to set up and remove the exhibits at scheduled times; the Library cannot provide storage for exhibitor’s materials.

Exhibit materials not removed from the Library within 30 days of the close of an exhibit may be disposed of by the Library. The Library shall incur no liability or indebtedness to the exhibitor or any other person for such actions.

I agree to share a brief biography/exhibitor’s statement, exhibition materials inventory (including creator’s name, item title, dimensions, medium, year created). Such inventory list and brief biography/exhibitor’s statement will be attached to this agreement.

I am aware that exhibits are scheduled for a period of time as determined by the Library and the exhibitor. The exhibition must remain in place for the duration of that period.

I agree that, if I must cancel an exhibition or display, I must contact the Library as soon as possible. If I fail to follow through with installing an exhibition without providing notice, I acknowledge that the Library reserves the right to refuse the exhibitor future exhibition opportunities.

I acknowledge and agree that my exhibit may be shared online via the Library’s digital gallery.

I acknowledge and agree that exhibits are not to be used to advertise commercial enterprises, solicit donations, or serve as a sales platform for artwork or other items.

Fliers and cards accompanying exhibits should be informational in nature and not serve to solicit customers or promote a for-profit business.

Individuals and organizations are permitted to display contact information with their exhibit.

Materials campaigning for political candidates or ballot propositions may not be exhibited.

I acknowledge and agree that exhibits must not cause damage to Leon County property, or interfere with the safe and peaceful operation of the Library.

Exhibition content must be appropriate for all-ages and cannot contain nudity, profanity, references to gang activity, or references to alcohol or tobacco use. Selection to exhibit works at the Library does not constitute an endorsement of the work.

I am aware that the Library will advertise exhibition opportunities through a variety of outlets and holds the right to photograph, film or reproduce any work accepted in an exhibition for publicity and documentation purposes only.

I understand that the Library is a public space and that photographing or filming of exhibitions by visitors may occur.

I understand that if I have a prior relationship with a commercial gallery, retailer or agent, it is my responsibility to inform that commercial gallery, retailer or agent of my intention to exhibit at the LeRoy Collins Leon County Public Library and ensure there is no conflict with respect to this agreement. In no event shall the LeRoy Collins Leon County Public Library be obligated to pay any third party fees, expenses, or commissions to any third parties unless agreed to in writing in advance.

By signing this agreement, I agree to indemnify and hold harmless Leon County, its employees, volunteers, agents and the Board of County Commissioners from liability in case of theft, vandalism, fire or any other loss or damage to the exhibited materials. I understand that none of my property will be covered by any fire or theft insurance procured by Leon County. Accordingly, I shall be responsible for appropriately insuring my property.
