Display cases
The library maintains a calendar for the three display cases in the Heiner Center lobby. Faculty or art club members can reserve use of the cases by deciding which cases are needed and consulting the calendar for availability. Provide details of which cases, the start and end dates, and a name to use for the exhibit calendar entries to Kate Harrison or 360.383.3294.
The three cases available are:
- Cabinet - Smallest, free-standing
- Fountain - Largest, near the building's main entrance
- Library door - Mid-size, near the library entrance
Typical display cycles are 4-6 weeks, first-come first-served. Please note the library is not able to curate, prepare placards or signs, transport or store works, nor do any promotion.
