Please note that library staff cannot help sell work or handle money, but you can do so on your own. We do not charge a tabling fee or any other fees. New Expressions is a safe space and will not accept submissions that discriminate against or cause harm to others. Please review our safer spaces policy below. 

We welcome attendees of all ages, so if you will be bringing NSFW art plan to have clear signage indicating that your work is not for children, or careful table arrangement so it is not the first thing a child might see. 

If if your application was not initially accepted you may be placed on a wait list. 

If you have any questions please contact the Merlo Branch Library and speak with the teen librarian, or fill out the contact form below.
