Background
The Center offers rotating art exhibits. Art exhibits enhance the environment, encourage community
participation in Center programming, and promote discussion of the work among participants and visitors.
Art Exhibit Policy
1. Art work is not censored. The style and subject of art exhibits vary greatly and may on occasion
be offensive to some participants and visitors. The Center neither approves nor disapproves the
content, ideas or subject matter presented in art exhibits and does not accept responsibility for
ensuring accuracy or that all points of view are represented by an exhibiting artist.
2. A signed agreement is required to exhibit art work at The Center.
3. Prior to installing art work, the artist shall provide the program specialist with a list of the names
and value of all items on display. The list is forwarded to the City of Iowa City’s revenue and risk
manager in order to provide insurance coverage for the items on display. Art work is not insured
by the City without documentation of the names of pieces displayed and their value.
4. The sale of exhibited artwork is permitted. The artist shall pay The Center 25% of the revenue
resulting from the sale of any item sold from the exhibit.
5. All items included in the exhibit must remain on display throughout the scheduled exhibit period
unless otherwise approved by the program specialist.
Administration
The exhibits are coordinated by the program specialist who invites and schedules artists to display their
work for a limited period of time.
