Reserve Your Space for 2026

The Jaffrey Civic Center invites artists, curators, and groups to submit proposals for consideration for the JCC 2026 exhibition schedule. Come in and view the gallery space that will best accommodate your artwork. There are three spaces available on 6 week intervals.

Fee for a 6 week exhibition:

  • First floor Auditorium Gallery ($150)
  • Second floor Cunningham Gallery  ($150)
  • First floor display cases ($75)
 

All display areas are handicap accessible. Artists and show organizers are responsible for hanging and taking down their exhibit. The deadline to submit proposals is September 24. Applicants who have been accepted will be notified after the first week of October. Submissions will be juried by our exhibition committee. We invite you to propose an exhibition but cannot guarantee an exhibit spot as they are highly competitive.
