Displays & Exhibitions: Propose an Exhibition in the Library

Information about displays and exhibits in the library

Now accepting proposals for Winter Quarter 2025

Please fill out this form by November 17, 2024 to be considered for the next exhibition at the The Evergreen State College Daniel J. Evans Library. Trouble filling out this form? Reach out to libraryhelp@evergreen.edu.

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

We are looking for exhibitions to be installed between January 2 - 12, 2025. Accepted proposals will be notified by November 29. Exhibits must fit in glass display cases. There is very limited wall space for accompanying signage.

An honorarium of $500 will be split evenly among all accepted exhibits.

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.
