THE VAULT
This one hundred and thirty-two square foot exhibition space is a historical bank vault within the d’Art Center and gives artists an opportunity to exhibit their work in a unique space in the heart of the Norfolk Arts District. All styles and aesthetics are considered.
The Vault can be booked for Invitational Shows, Small Group Shows, or Juried Open Call Shows.
Artists interested in submitting a proposal for The Vault can download a proposal form here.
The d’Art Center markets the show through its social media and patron base and provides invitational postcards/fliers. There is a 60/40 commission on sales (60% Artist, 40% d’Art Center).
