The
Boston Public Library mounts exhibitions from its own collections
and also cosponsors shows with many nonprofit educational, cultural,
and civic organizations. The exhibits cover a wide variety of topics,
some of local interest and others international in scope.
Due to insurance and security issues, we almost never show original works of art. Most of our shows are photographic or reproductions of original material. We seldom show the work of a single artist; instead, we choose exhibitions on the basis of subject matter with a preference toward those that are related in some way to Boston, Massachusetts, and New England. Exhibitors are required to sign an insurance release form. Selection concerning upcoming exhibits is made after consultation among employees whose duties include the selection and development of shows for the library's exhibition spaces. To apply for exhibit space in the Central Library, send a brief letter describing the subject of the exhibit -- noting the number of items included in the exhibit as well as the size of various items. Include five or six samples of the visuals (slides or photocopies) and accompanying text. Mail the proposal to: Community
Library Services Office Enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope so that materials can be easily returned. For exhibit space in one of our branch locations, please contact the branch directly. Current exhibits in the Central Library.
