The exhibition facilities are located on the ground floor at the Oat Street entrance of Evesham Library. These consist of a continuous run of 3 boards, each 8 feet long, making a total length of 24 feet (7.2 m), which are 4 feet (1.2m) high. The library welcomes exhibitions and displays from all individuals and groups, either of art and craft work, or on a topic they would like to share with the community. We also welcome displays from groups and bodies promoting their work, or on national themes.

Stourport Library

Located on the first floor of the library. A large airy room, with plenty of natural light from the windows on the external curved wall. Ideal for large exhibitions or if required the freestanding boards can be moved to create smaller more intimate display areas. There is 1 floor standing and 1 wall mounted, lockable glass display cabinets.

Upton-Upon-Severn Library

The Gallery is fairly small. It is in the meeting room at Upton Library and so is seen by many groups as well as the public. Exhibitions are held for a month at a time as we are a part-time library. There is good lighting.

Tenbury Wells Library

The exhibition room is hired on a monthly basis – artists have a calendar month to put up, exhibit and take down their exhibition. There are months this year (2010) that are available for hire. The room is on the first floor of the library and is accessible via the stairs or by a lift which is suitable for wheelchair users. The room is also used for meetings, so there are times during the month when the exhibition is not available to visitors,  The display case is not permanent, but can be obtained for exhibitions if needed.

Bromsgrove Library
