Guidelines for Library Gallery Exhibit Photos

Work must be ready to hang on the “gallery system” which accepts wired back pieces. We can accommodate a wide range of sizes and shapes. Pieces can be framed, with or without glass, or printed directly on canvas with an internal frame support.

All costs of the framing/mounting process are the responsibility of the member making the submission.

See example photos below.
(Anything that can be hung on one of the below hooks is fine.)

Saw Mill River Audubon will have a listing all works in the exhibit. Individual name placards will also be created to identify the subject in the photo (e.g., species in photo, location of photo, photographer name, and price, if any.)

Individual pieces may be offered for sale by the photographer if desired. A 20% commission for any artwork sold will be shared between the Hendrick Hudson Free Library and Saw Mill River Audubon.

All pieces must remain in place until the end of the exhibit at which time they will be returned to the original owner.
