Sponsorships and Collaborations

Let’s Join Forces!

There are Several Ways to Get Involved with NBOSS VT

The North Bennington Outdoor Sculpture Show (NBOSS) is a volunteer-run exhibition that has grown into a recognized arts organization since its founding in 1997. Over nearly three decades, NBOSS has built a strong regional and national network of artists, curators, educators, and cultural partners—while remaining deeply rooted in community engagement and accessibility.

Today, NBOSS operates beyond a single-day event. It is a year-round public art platform supporting professional and emerging artists through exhibition opportunities, expanded partnerships, and increased institutional visibility.
