Artist Submission Form

Please read our Exhibit Guidelines

The Allen County Public Library hosts exhibitions managed by the Gallery Coordinator, who oversees selection and scheduling for the Jeffrey R. Krull Gallery.

All artwork must be original and suitable for display in terms of nature, format, and quality.

• Artwork must align with the library’s collection development standards.
• Size must accommodate the main gallery without disrupting facility use.
• Relevance to library programs, community events, or cultural observances is encouraged.
• Content must avoid violent, explicit, or discriminatory imagery.

Installation is coordinated by the Gallery Coordinator, who retains final authority over display arrangements.

Exhibitors are responsible for timely delivery of all items per contract specifications. Shipping costs fall to the artist.

Each piece requires a properly labeled tag meeting library standards, with label details due by the contract’s specified deadline.

Exhibits remain on display until the contractually defined closing date. Early removal is prohibited, even for sold works.

Group exhibitions require each participating member to acknowledge contract terms.

Submitted artwork may appear in promotional materials unless otherwise noted. The Communications department manages outreach efforts.

The library does not handle artwork sales but provides insurance coverage during display. Artists should consider personal coverage.

Planning begins months ahead; submissions should occur at least one year before the intended exhibit month. Initial consultations involve reviewing samples and discussing qualifications.

Approved exhibits secure fixed dates with signed contracts. Publicity follows library protocols, including in-house promotions and press releases.

Installation and removal logistics are finalized in the contract. Both exhibitors and coordinators coordinate these details.
