The Vermont Arts Council Spotlight Gallery features exhibits from visual artists in Vermont that generally run for a two month period.
The gallery consists of two spaces in our offices where work is displayed and open to the public: the conference room and the corridor of our office in Montpelier. Please note that the gallery exists in our work space and there are times when the conference room is not available due to meetings in progress. However, the corridor is always open during regular business hours.

If you are chosen for exhibition you will receive a detailed floor plan, and special instructions for hanging your work to be fully accessible. This information will allow you to plan accordingly prior to your installation.
The gallery consists of two spaces in our offices where work is displayed and open to the public: the conference room and the corridor of our office in Montpelier. The work hangs off a picture rail and we can display around 20 average size paintings (or other two-dimensional media) for a solo or collaborative exhibit. We want the exhibits to fill both spaces, and to be accessible to people in wheelchairs.
