UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS
Exhibition proposals will be accepted after a curatorial review by The Commons Exhibitions Committee. All exhibits must be installed by the applicant. The Exhibition Hall is a community education space and not a commercial gallery, however, artists are welcome to sell works on exhibit. All sales must be conducted by the artist or the artist’s representing gallery. The Commons will not receive or hold payment for works sold in the Exhibition Hall, nor will it charge a commission fee.
Those interested in showing their work at The Commons should complete an online application, and will be notified if further information is needed.
The Exhibitions Committee meets monthly and endeavors to schedule exhibitions at least three months in advance. Occasionally, exhibition space becomes available on a shorter timeline due to cancellations.
