The Community Gallery at Nantwich Museum has been re-named Your Space.
The change aims to emphasise its purpose in providing local people and organisations with a chance to display and promote their work.
Museum manager Kate Dobson said: “Locally there is much talent and many stories to be told.
“Your Space provides the vehicle to bring them to a wider public.”
Your Space offers 25 square metres of wall space, and there is an opportunity to display items in a range of plinths and cabinets.
Application forms for a chance to exhibit in the gallery can be obtained from the museum office on Pillory Street.
Entry for the public to the museum and exhibitions is free. Around 36,000 people visit the museum each year.
Meanwhile, the museum has announced a series of talks which will accompany its major summer exhibition Nantwich at Play which opens at the museum on Saturday July 25.
The exhibition illustrates how local people spent their leisure time through the ages.
