Library Art & Exhibits

The Chalmer Davee Library provides exhibit space as a venue for individuals and groups to display works of art, publicize special events, promote a cause or an organization, or show off a hobby. The library’s Harriet Barry Gallery and exhibit spaces are high profile, well-traveled areas and are open to the university community, local artists and members of the general public.

We adhere to the American Library Association's policy on exhibit space which states: The ALA affirms that all libraries are forums of information and ideas. Libraries should make exhibit spaces available to the public they serve and should make such facilities available on an equitable basis, regardless of the beliefs or affirmations of individuals or groups requesting their use.
