How to host an exhibit at YDL

YDL makes designated exhibit spaces available to the public for exhibits and displays when they are not in use by the library. Artists may submit an application to install an exhibition in the library’s space, subject to our Exhibits and Displays Policy. Individuals are limited to a single one-month exhibit per year, while educational institutions may post exhibits as often as there is space available. Please contact John Connaghan, [email protected], with questions about exhibitions.
