SUMMARY:"Surfs Up" - The Village School of North Bennington All Student Art Show
DESCRIPTION:“The Village School of North Bennington All Student Show is one of our favorite exhibitions to host” says Rhonda Ratray\, Artist in Residence at the Left Bank and curator of the Maurice Kahn Gallery\, “The artwork is exciting and creative and it’s wonderful to see the pride the students have in their work. I regularly hear from visitors to the gallery that they are delighted by the exhibition”. \nTeaching Artist\, Caitilin McAdoo and Assistant Maria Scully worked with the students throughout the school year to create a show in which you’ll see paintings\, ceramics\, papier mâché\, chickens\, fish\, things made with recycled materials\, and prints. Says Caitilin\, “We turned paper plates into jellyfish and chickens. We used shredded documents from the office to make our own paper clay and utilized egg cartons and plaster of Paris to make fish that move. We tried new techniques for acrylic paint pours. Sixth graders designed their own independent projects based on what they were interested in. Second Graders wrote a book. Fourth graders learned some techniques for painting formal portraits. We carved our own printing blocks and made prints. Fifth Graders made plywood fish and Third Graders used the scraps to make their own sculptures. Pre-k students learned that elephants sometimes turn out to be giraffes and tanks can feature laser pointers for cats”. \nDon’t miss one of our favorite shows of the year.

SUMMARY:“Draw Yourself Sleeping”
DESCRIPTION:Bennington College Sculpture Show \n\n\nOpening; Sunday\, December 8th\, 1pm – 4pm \n\n\nThe public is invited to “Draw Yourself Sleeping”\, an exhibition of work by fourteen Sculpture Students from Bennington College at the North Bennington Train Depot Gallery. The show opens  for a one-time only viewing and reception on Sunday\, Dec 8th\, 1pm – 4pm. The North Bennington Train Depot is located at 5 Depot Street in North Bennington. All are welcome and refreshments will be served. \n\n\nIn Bennington College’s Sculpture Studio / advanced practice course\, taught by faculty member John Umphlett\, students propose and execute projects of their own design. On exhibit will be work by Charlie Bell\, Jasmine Bete-Mitchell\,  Tali Mars\, Hollis Churchill\, Vic Coronel\, Julia Duva\, Chris Golovina\, Mac Goulis\, Aliza Khan\, Ethan Laird\, Nico Migdal\, Nicholas Pertz Kelley\, HaL Price\, and Lulu Wiley \n\n\n“’Making face’  is so important and engaging for the students\, to feel the pressure and realize it’s just a conversation. “  Umphlett states\,“Each student has been developing their practice and critiquing each other\, discussing prior critiques\, how the work can be read and what observations to further consider. Their works have been presented primarily on campus everywhere from controlled dark installation spaces to dance studios and outside. The students have been using this class to expand their advanced practices here at Bennington\, incorporating transferable skills and concepts developed in and outside of the visual arts. They have been challenging themselves to focus on work that pokes at complicated themes while they continue to direct material shaping towards their personal ethos.  The opportunity to show their work beyond the institution creates real world challenges. The practical aspects of installing a show combined with the responsibility toward self to propose their ideas into a larger community is priceless. The experience will help prepare the students to find out how to engage and listen and the best part\,celebrate and claim the experience.” \n\n\nThe exhibit is supported in part by the Vermont Arts Exchange and the Village of North Bennington. \nVic Coronel; performance\, projection\, video and sculpture

Prizes will be awarded to the best-dressed vehicles\, cars\, trucks\, trailers\, and motorcycles and passengers\, so start your planning now. \nImportant note!! The parade route will be new this year. Starting at 3:30 participating vehicles will meet at Bennington College’s back parking lot near Greenwall Auditorium/VAPA\, entering through the Harlan Road entrance where volunteers will direct you to the parade line up. The parade will start at 4pm at the College’s old stone gate at the top of Prospect Street\, proceeding down into the Village\, turning right at Lincoln square-fountain\, continuing up Main Street to end at the Train Depot.  Due to current restrictions\, there will be no bonfire or gathering after the parade.  Costume prizes will be announced on VAE’s Facebook page and website on Monday morning. Although staying in your car is the safest bet for those in the parade\, we ask that parade spectators practice social distancing and please wear masks. If not wearing a mask as part of your costume\, grab some Sharpies and decorate your cloth or disposable mask. The judges will be on the look out for the best decorated “Covid” mask. \nThis year we are asking parade participants to make a donation of $10 – $20 per vehicle. This will greatly help VAE put on this free\, annual event during a particularly tough year for organizations. Donations will be collected on the way out through the stone columns of the College’s gate as we meander our way down into the Village. \nThe Bennington Traditional Jazz Bandwill play live music from Lincoln Square\, which will also be home base for the parade judges. Free grilled hot dogs\, courtesy of Powers Market\, will be distributed by members of the Norshaft Lions Club. Pangaea will be open and featuring coffee from Angelica and The Roasted Bean Espresso Bar as well as new treats from their patisserie. Plan on dinner to go or eat outside at Marigolds Pizza\, Kevins or Pangaea for a great local dinner out!

DESCRIPTION:Tickets; $20 in advance\, $25 at the door if not sold out \nDoors open at 6:30 for dinner for purchase.  Menu to follow.  Show starts at 8pm. \nPhiladelphia-based M’Balia is a singer who approaches jazz standards with a “fiercely individualistic style and a generous dollop of gospel grounding”\, and an “ace” songwriter with a caustic wit and piquant attitude born of lived experience. \nWhile M’Balia performs in jazz combos\, she also continues to perform as a solo singer-guitarist or as a duo with an additional guitarist or drummer. \nThom Loubet has played guitar with all sorts of crazy wonderful ensembles like Burnt Sugar\,  The Three Bean Stew Hip Hop Orchestra\, and Nu Afrika. In 2002\, along with 3 other musician friends\, they formed The Citizens\, an Avant-Rock band which has played the Basement Music Series twice before. He currently tours with the fantabulous Alice Smith and Tamar-Kali and recently was on the faculty at Bennington College. \nBuy Tickets
