I hope you all down south realize how truly blessed you are in regards to the weather. Our power has been out since 3am! Everyone be safe out there. I am hoping this is our last winter in Vermont. U gotta be tough to survive Vermont winters! I will be back plenty for the springs, summers, and falls though! 😁 #vermont #vt #vtlife #vermontbyvermonters #vermonting #vermontliving #vermont_igers #vermontwinter #vermontsouth #vermontonly #vermonter (at Vermont, Usa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpxqsGWu3Rz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We took our coffees to the road this morning. D thought wisely to get me up above the clouds for some sunshine before the next 48 hours of cold rain and wind. He still surprises me with new roads and views after living here for 20 years, a value-add made possible by my stunning lack of location awareness. I gawk and ohhhh and ughhh by the beautifully sited and well maintained farmhouses along the ridge roads, imagining how if I had made different choices in my earlier years I might have ended up with a career that afforded me one of them. I imagine calling someone when a pipe needed plumbing or clapboards needed replacing. I envisioned my mid-morning stroll through one of my many greenhouses to asses the progress of my future paradise garden. Then, just like that, I snap straight out of it - knowing deeply that outsiders fantasies are 💯% dead wrong and then we tumble out of the car to sample another sun-warmed rock formation for its stolen view. ☕️ . . . . . . . #mytinyatlas#theartofslowliving#livesimple#themountainsarecalling#stayandwander#getoutstayout#dslooking#vermont#vermontlife#igvermont#vermonting#travelvermont#vermontbyvermonters#vermontphotography#ilovevermont#vtpixels#thisisvt#newengland#ilovermont#vtlife#greenmountains#morningdrive#morningdew#graftonvt#londonderryvt#timberridge (at Vermont) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_PvieSFXP5/?igshid=12oqmozcle8ht

“Your great mistake is to act the drama as if you were alone. As if life were a progressive and cunning crime with no witness to the tiny hidden transgressions. To feel abandoned is to deny the intimacy of your surroundings. Surely, even you, at times, have felt the grand array; the swelling presence, and the chorus, crowding out your solo voice. You must note the way the soap dish enables you, or the window latch grants you freedom. Alertness is the hidden discipline of familiarity. The stairs are your mentor of things to come, the doors have always been there to frighten you and invite you, and the tiny speaker in the phone is your dream-ladder to divinity. Put down the weight of your aloneness and ease into the conversation. The kettle is singing even as it pours you a drink, the cooking pots have left their arrogant aloofness and seen the good in you at last. All the birds and creatures of the world are unutterably themselves. Everything is waiting for you.” -David Whyte . . . . . . . #davidwhyte #davidwhytepoetry #waiting #waitingforyou #autumndrive #drivingwithfriends #purplemountains #vermonting #thisisvermont #vtlife #vermontlife #ilovermont #deeppeace #silence #bigsky #dscolor #colorsofvermont (at North Thetford, Vermont) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3w92rilx6K/?igshid=vjvea69qj1h6

In The Issue

On the cover of Vermont Art Guide #4 is Meadow Poppies & Mountain by Lorraine Manley. She is one of the artists at the Milton Art Center, a new art space created by the Miton Artists’ Guild. We write about their endeavour in the issue.

In the issue’s editorial, “We Are Not Alone”, Vermont Art Guide Editor Ric Kasini Kadour rallies against Modernism’s assertion that “We’re born alone, we live alone, we die alone.”

“It is a myth that we are alone, a terrible story we tell ourselves that feeds the ego of our success, but isolates us from others and prevents us from relating to others. Good things happen when people get together. Great things happen when artists get together.” 

–Ric Kasini Kadour

We report on bold changes happening at the Chaffee Art Center in Rutland; the loss of twenty artist studios in Burlington’s South End Arts District; and how the Vermont Art Guide is partnering with the Vermont Arts Council on an exhibition.

In January, over five million people participated in over five hundred marches to protest the election and inauguration of the new president. The symbol for the movement, the pink Pussy hat, moved Colchester artist Carol MacDonald to make a print. We tell the story. A woodcut by Woodstock artist Jeanne Amato was collected by the Boston Athenæum. We’ve got that story too. And we report on how nine Vermont artists came together to make art and raise funds for Vermont Works for Women.

In “Raw Painting,” we profile Charlotte artist Jane Ann Kantor. Her newest series, “Raw”, is forceful, blending photo transfers and street-art inspired abstract painting—think urban detritus—into a poignant essay on grief and the relentless tension between life and death. We look at how Kantor channels hard work, experimentation, and grief into her artwork.

Over the years, Chris Jeffrey has built a reputation as a talented and versatile stained glass artist in central Vermont. His new work–light installation–plays with light, but in a completely different way.

This summer, Pawlet photographer Stephen Schaub is curating an exhibition at the Southern Vermont Art Center that is bringing together photographers at the top of their game from around the world. What they have in common is that they all work with film. We interview this artist who says,

“Film isn’t dead, far from it. In fact in many ways, I’d argue, it’s just getting started.”

Summer in Vermont is the season of outdoor sculpture. The state is blessed with a bonanza of sculpture parks, open to the public. Some of these places make great picnic spots. Others make for a great road trip. All of them provide an opportunity to experience large scale sculpture in a natural environment. We visit sculpture at Lemon Fair Sculpture Park in Shoreham; Cold Hollow Sculpture Park in Enosburg Falls; West Branch Gallery & Sculpture Park in Stowe; Gerald K Stoner Underhill Ironworks; Vermont Arts Council Sculpture Garden in Montpelier; and Middlebury College.

Where to See Art, our curated list of 147 places to see art around the state. We pay particular attention to: Walker Contemporary, Waitsfield | Bundy Modern, Waitsfield | T.W. Wood Gallery, Montpelier | Brattleboro Museum & Art Center | Morrill Homestead, Strafford | Chandler Gallery, Randolph | Catamount Arts, St. Johnsbury | Shelburne Museum | Maltex Building, Burlington | Ross Sheehan Studio, Vergennes | Art on Main, Bristol | Northern Daughters, Vergennes | Compass Music & Art Center, Brandon | Marble House, Dorset | Bennington Arts Weekend
