Evergreen Library Exhibition Proposal Form: https://evergreen.libwizard.com/f/propose-exhibition

Some criteria we use to evaluate exhibit proposals include:

  • Connection to curriculum (including work by current Evergreen students)
  • Connection to events and other arts activities happening at Evergreen
  • Diversity & inclusion (i.e., would this display represent/explore/speak from multiple or traditionally underrepresented perspectives)
  • Relevance to Olympia community (or wider PNW community)
  • Compatibility with current display resources (i.e., do we have to buy anything to make it work?)
  • Interest (i.e., ability to interact, relevance to current events, visual interest, of a wide-ranging topic or different than other exhibits we have hosted)

Types of display cases available for use:

  • 2 medium silver cases measuring 60"x24"x36" with 2 glass shelves
  • 2 tall silver cases measuring 60"x24"x72"
  • 1 wooden horizontal case measuring 68"x24"x9"

Optional additional cases (if exhibit needs more space):

  • 2 small wooden cases measuring 32"x24"x28" with 1 shelf
  • 1 black horizontal case measuring 60"x30"x8"
  • 1 silver horizontal case measuring 50"x26"x13"

The configuration of the display cases in the library does not change. Please take some time to visit the library to make sure your idea fits within our current configuration.
