Join Kathryn Heaviside, Librarian & Gallery Coordinator with the Northport-East Northport Public Library to discuss library galleries. What kind of gallery system does your library use? Do you archive your artists that have exhibited? If so, how? What department handles the gallery? These questions and more to be discussed.
Open to all.
Some examples:
1. What kind of gallery system does your library use? Pros and Cons to it.
2. Do you archive your artist that have exhibited? If so, how?
3. What department handles the gallery? Is it one person or a few?
4. How do you handle no shows or cancelations?
5. How do you publicize the artist?
6. Do you allow the artist to have a art reception?
7. What is the main complaint/compliment your library gets from the artists regarding the gallery?
