Call for Artists
Why Being Represented by a Gallery Matters
Being part of The Marshall Muse Gallery isn’t just about having a space — it’s about being part of a thriving artistic community. Whether you have a studio or a featured wall space, your work will be seen, appreciated, and marketed to a growing audience of collectors and art lovers. Increased visibility leads to more sales, more commissions, and greater opportunities to connect with buyers who appreciate your unique artistic voice. The more you’re represented, the more doors open — whether it’s through networking, exhibitions, special events, or commission-based projects. At The Marshall Muse Gallery, we’re not just showcasing art, we’re building careers and fostering a creative movement.
Become an In-House Artist
Please Note: All studios have been rented. Are you looking for a dedicated space to create, showcase, and sell your work? The Marshall Muse Gallery offers 11 private studio spaces for rent, providing a creative home for working artists in an inspiring and professional environment. When you rent a studio, you become one of our in-house artists, unlocking a variety of exclusive perks — including a reduced commission on gallery sales, discounts on framing services, priority access to gallery events, and more. As part of this working artist community, you’ll have the opportunity to engage with visitors, collectors, and fellow creatives, making valuable connections while sharing your passion. Studios are available for a monthly fee with a 12-month lease, ensuring stability for your creative practice while allowing you to expand your presence in the local art scene. If this is a fit for you, contact us!
Not Ready for a Studio?
Exhibit in Our Passageway Gallery or Pottery & Gift Gallery.
Please Note: Our Passageway Gallery spaces & Pottery/Gift Gallery have all been rented. Artists have signed 6 and 12 month leases. The details below could help with future planning. Once we have openings, this space will be updated.
Our Passageway Gallery offers the perfect opportunity for artists who want a consistent presence at The Marshall Muse Gallery without renting a private studio. This designated gallery space allows artists to rent wall space at a monthly rate with a six-month commitment, giving you the flexibility to showcase your work without the responsibilities of a full studio rental. This is a great way to establish yourself in the gallery, reach new audiences, and start selling your work while keeping costs manageable. Plus, artists in this program also receive a discounted commission rate on sales — so the more you sell, the more you earn!
Our Pottery & Gift Gallery space is dedicated to showcasing handcrafted pottery, small sculpture, artisan gifts, and creative wares from regional makers and artists. By participating, you’ll have the opportunity to share your work with gallery visitors while growing your customer base and strengthening Greensboro’s creative community. Artists and makers rent shelf space in the Pottery & Gift Room for a monthly fee of $60/$40, with the Gallery retaining a 30% commission on all sales. This allows artists to display work in a curated retail setting without the hassle of running their own shop. The space is designed to support ceramicists, sculptors, jewelers, and craft artisans who want a consistent, professional retail outlet with built-in traffic and marketing support.
