Points to note:
 Goldsmiths Library does not take commission on sales or charge for the use of exhibiting
space.

Artists are responsible for the hanging/installation of work(s). It is not usually possible to put
fixings in the walls but artists may make use of the hanging system in the Special Collections
Reading Room for wall based works. It may be possible to install fixings in the back walls of
the Kingsway Corridor cabinets with prior agreement. The exhibition space must be left as
found prior to exhibiting (which may involve filling holes and painting).

Artists are responsible for handling sales of work(s). Library staff are happy to refer enquiries.

Unfortunately, Goldsmiths Library cannot fund the production of works or hanging/installation
but is usually able to endorse applications for additional funding.

Goldsmiths Library will publicise the exhibition on its website and on the Goldsmiths event
calendar. Goldsmiths Library is able to print a limited number of press releases (black and
white) and a limited number of colour posters. Artists must provide a written statement and
images for publicity by an agreed date.

Goldsmiths Library is able to host an opening event, providing staffing. Drinks may be
provided by the artist.

Visitors who do not hold a Goldsmiths card can visit between 09.15 and 20.45 Monday-Friday
and 11.30 - 17.00 Sat-Sun during term time. Visitors are advised to bring ID (proof of current
address) for access.

Goldsmiths’ Public Liability Insurance covers visitors to the University, however artists are
responsible for insurance of works. Library staff will take care to minimise risk of theft or
damage to works but cannot invigilate. Artists must be aware that the Library is used heavily
and open 24/7.

Artists must ensure that works are removed by an agreed take-down date

Goldsmiths Library reserves the right to abort the exhibition if works pose a safety risk or
impact negatively on Library users.
