The Christopher Center
The Christopher Center for Library and Information Resources provides a venue for rotating art exhibits in designated open public spaces on the second floor. Students, faculty, and area artists may submit a request to temporarily exhibit their work by filling out the Art Exhibit Request form. Works of art chosen for these temporary exhibits are lent to the library by the individual artist for a period of time. The library neither purchases these works nor profits from exhibiting them.
