Call for Exhibit Proposals
Rolling Open Call

We are seeking innovative work for solo and/or group exhibits from artists working in a variety of media. Curators and both emerging and established artists are encouraged to apply. Site-specific work/installations will also be considered. This is a rolling open call for exhibits.

Exhibitions run for either 4 or 8 weeks with an opening reception to be scheduled to mutually benefit all parties. A demonstration, class, or artist talk event provided by the artist(s) is encouraged, but not required. Compass takes a commission of 35% of works sold.

Exhibit Spaces
A variety of exhibit spaces are available, giving flexibility to artists for the scope of their vision and needs. All parties will discuss and agree upon which space(s) would be best for the proposed exhibit.

Sample Exhibit Contract
The Sample Contract gives further details of what would be expected of the artist(s) and of Compass if the proposal is selected.

Submission Guidelines

• Submit between 5 and 10 images, plus images of design concepts and/or installation sketches if appropriate. All work must be original works of art, not shown within 50 miles of Brandon, VT in the last year.
• Include detailed information on each image: title, medium, overall dimensions, date completed, and price (including the 35% commission)
• Exhibition proposal: include information on proposed participants, exhibit title, project description (limited to 1,000 words), and special installation needs

Leasing Opportunities

We now have several studio, gallery and retail units available for rent here at Compass. Whether you are an artist looking to rent a studio or gallery, a musician wanting teaching and rehearsal space, or an arts related business seeking affordable retail/shop/office space, Compass could meet your needs.

Room Rental

Compass has spaces available to meet your function needs. The Main Function Hall offers a space ideal for conferences, exhibits, installations, performances, parties and celebrations, while other rooms can serve as meeting, teaching, or consultation rooms.

Display Space

There are many exhibit spaces throughout the building, of different sizes, that offer an excellent opportunity to display and sell your work. Displaying your work doesn't have to be a full-blown exhibit. If you have a body of work you'd just like to display, please contact us with your thoughts.
