Gallery space is maintained at each library location for art exhibits by local, regional, and national artists and exhibitors. The galleries present exhibits that would not otherwise be available to patrons of the Library.
The Library is not currently accepting applications for exhibits.
Selection criteria for art exhibits follow the standards set in the library's collection development policy. Artists must submit slides, photographs, color copies, prints, or digital images for review. Artists are scheduled after review of their current work. Artists must submit examples that are representative of the artwork they plan to display. Only artwork conforming in style and content to submitted artwork will be displayed. Please note that only nature-themed artwork is accepted at the Mr. & Mrs. F. L. Schlagle Library
Patrons may challenge art just as they would challenge any other material available in the library. Policy for challenges is explained in the Kansas City, Kansas Public Library collection development policy. Patrons may fill out the Request for Reconsideration of Materials form if they have objections to an exhibit.
