Become an exhibiting member artist at the Brandon Artists Guild!

Please check our social media accounts or subscribe to our newsletter for the most up to date news of upcoming juries.

Exhibiting Member artists show their work at the Guild gallery in downtown Brandon, Vermont year round, participate in group and solo shows, and become part of a vibrant creative community.

The Guild welcomes all flavors and styles of fine art and crafts. Jurying criteria include originality, impact, clarity, craftsmanship, consistency of style and quality, presentation, and marketability. The jury consists of Guild artists and non-artists with expertise and experience across all media. The commission earned by the artist is 60% of their sales.

When there is a need, qualified artist members have the opportunity to apply to staff the gallery and increase their commission significantly. It’s a great way to meet other artists, make creative connections and learn what makes a cooperative arts organization tick. In exchange, the standard 60% gallery commission is increased to 80% with a work commitment of 30 days per year.
