In addition to exhibitions in our main gallery, the Carlisle Arts Learning Center partners with local businesses and community organizations to showcase artwork throughout the Carlisle area.

These off-site exhibitions help bring art into everyday spaces—libraries, cafés, businesses, and community venues—while providing artists with additional opportunities to share and sell their work. Exhibits typically rotate several times throughout the year and feature work by CALC members working in a variety of mediums.

Participation requirements, artwork guidelines, and rotation schedules vary by location. Details for each partner site are listed below.

Artists interested in participating in off-site exhibitions should contact our Gallery Director for current availability and upcoming opportunities.
