Spotlight Gallery

The Arts Council's Spotlight Gallery features exhibits by Vermont visual artists.  Exhibits generally run for a two month period.

The gallery is open to the public and located in the corridor and conference room of our offices at 136 State Street in Montpelier.  Please note that there are times when the conference room is not available due to meetings in progress.  However, the corridor exhibit is always open during regular business hours.

The Gallery Hours: Monday - Friday, 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

In the Spotlight Gallery: In-Sight Photography Project

An exhibit from the In-Sight Photography Project will be on display in the Spotlight Gallery through the end of June 2012.  A reception will be held on June 8th as part of Montpelier's Art Walk.

Artist the Exhibit: Images displayed here were created from participants of The In-Sight Photography during the last year, many of them being new to photography.  

The In-Sight Photography Project, Inc. offers students a creative voice and outlet, an opportunity to experience success, tools for self-awareness and self-worth, and encourages them to become actively engaged in their communities.  In-Sight teaches photography to youth ages 11-18 throughout Southern Vermont, regardless of their ability to pay.

We would like to thank the Vermont Arts Council for their support of In-Sight and for all they do to advocate for art in Vermont. 

If you would like to learn more about In-Sight, find us on the web at www.insight-photography.org or info@insight-photography.org.  We can be reached at 802-251-9960.

More Information

If you are interested in showing your work in the Spotlight Gallery, send us a packet of information for consideration including a sample of your work on slides or digital images, some background information on the proposed exhibit, and an artist’s statement/resume or biography. Send the information via email to Lindsey Harty, or you may send via postal mail to:

Vermont Arts Council Spotlight Gallery
Attn: Lindsey Harty Carlson
136 State Street, Montpelier, VT 05633-6001

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.
