FAQ
Is there a cost for hosting the exhibit?
There is no charge to host the Unsung Heroes of Afghanistan exhibit, however your group will be asked to sign a contract taking responsibility for any loss or damage to the exhibit while the exhibit is in your care, and your group will be liable to cover the costs of replacing or repairing any lost or damaged pieces.
As a host, is my group responsible for paying the shipping costs of the exhibit?
During 2010, hosting groups are only responsible for paying for shipping costs for the exhibit to be returned to one of its home bases (New York, NY in the US or Vancouver, BC in Canada). You will not be responsible for shipping costs to receive the exhibit.
How long can my group keep the exhibit for?
Some groups borrow the exhibit for a few days only, to show during a one time event. Others host the exhibit in a space for up to several weeks. We will loan the exhibit for a maximum period of six weeks at a time, except under special circumstances. Most groups have the exhibit for an average of two weeks.
What kind of groups can host the exhibit?
The exhibit creators will consider all requests. Hosting groups can be service clubs, community agencies, charities or non-profit organizations, schools, corporations, museums, libraries, municipalities or government agencies, or a group of individuals organizing an event or festival. Exhibiting opportunities are subject to availability and appropriateness of the event or venue.
Is there any help with promoting the exhibit?
Hosting groups are responsible for organizing publicity for their event or exhibit. The exhibit creators, FNAW and CASC, will advertise the event or exhibit on their websites if requested.
What does the exhibit come with?
The exhibit comes in two boxes. One contains the 21 foam boards and another contains 21 foldable chrome easels. There is also a guest book, and some take-away information about the exhibit for visitors.
The Unsung Heroes of Afghanistan Exhibit was created by the Funders’ Network for Afghan Women and
the Canada Afghanistan Solidarity Committee.
