SUMMARY:Aubrey Logan
DESCRIPTION:Tickets:\nAdults; advance $20\, at-the-door $25. Students; $10 \nDoors open at 7pm. Show starts at 8pm. \nAll ages show. \nShe takes a song you’ve heard a thousand times and spins it on its heels. It’s new. It’s fresh. It delights. And she writes. Oh\, does she write! Songs with lyrics that paint the chambers of the heart with all the colors on the human palette. And whether she’s jammin’ on her trombone or sailing through a song with her nothing-held-back\, multi-octave vocal instrument\, Aubrey captivates audiences and delivers originality to everything modern in music. Her style as an entertainer ranges from sassy to sultry\, and her performances never fail to elicit the highest critical praise. Aubrey Logan is jazz\, yes\, but she can’t be defined by jazz alone. Hear her tap into the graces of a neo-soul ballad\, then claim your seat in First Class as she pilots a flight of classic rock. \nBuy Tickets

SUMMARY:VAE Presents\, "A Star Has Burnt My Eye" with Howard Fishman
DESCRIPTION:Photo Credit: Rebecca Greenfield \nFeaturing: Charlotte Mundy – Vocals\, Osei Essed – Guitar\, Banjo\, Mandolin & Upright Bass\, Dina Maccabee – Vocals\, Violin & Guitar\, Howard Fishman – Vocals\, Guitar & Piano\, and Nic Adams \nAt the Masonic Hall\, 504 Main Street\, Bennington \nDecember 12th 7:00 pm show\, doors at 6:00pm. \n$20 Advance\, $25 At the Door\, $10 Students \nIn 1961\, the polymathic songwriter Connie Converse grew disillusioned with music and New York\, packed her bags for Ann Arbor\, and eventually disappeared. Her home recordings from the 50s have only recently come to light—vulnerable\, literary songs about loneliness\, sexual longing\, and bad credit—but they were unclassifiable at the time and she vanished without an audience or album to her name. \n“A Star Has Burnt My Eye”\, is a multimedia meditation from songwriter and guitarist Howard Fishman. Three other musicians who perform and consider Converse’s music and life\, pondering what it meant\, and still means\, to be an outsider artist\, join Fishman. A treasure trove of recently discovered artifacts—personal letters\, diary entries\, poems\, along with first-person recollections—come to life alongside intimate performances on guitar\, piano\, violin and upright bass in tribute to this enigmatic songstress whose fate still eludes. \n“A Star Has Burnt My Eye” had its world premiere at The Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) as part of the 2016 Next Wave Festival\, where it sold out its run and was a New York Times Critics Pick. \n  \nLink to the BAM production: \nhttp://www.bam.org/theater/2016/a-star-has-burnt-my-eye \nHoward’s New Yorker piece is here: \nhttp://http://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/connie-converses-time-has-come \nBuy Tickets

SUMMARY:Vermont Arts Exchange Presents ZUMIX!
DESCRIPTION:Free Downtown Concert\nMonday\, August 14 7:00pm\nFront Porch of Bennington Town Office Building ~ 205 South Street\nBring your own lawn chairs or picnic blankets. \nZUMIX’s songwriting and performance programs utilize music and\nwriting as tools for positive youth development and violence\nprevention. Songwriting and performance programs are designed to help\nyouth address the complex challenges of urban life in a positive way.\nThrough songwriting workshops\, participants develop critical\nthinking\, literacy\, and communication skills as they analyze\, write\,\nand discuss issues that affect their lives. These programs are\noffered through a social justice lens to actively engage youth in\nissues that are important to their lives and their communities. The\nobjective of these programs is to empower participants to give voice\nto their ideas and feelings. Through skits\, group discussion\, and\ncritique\, youth learn problem solving skills and mediation\, as well\nas the basics of rhythm\, poetic rhyme\, harmony\, and storytelling. \nThis year’s program features twelve performers ranging in age from\n13-18. Each day these kids travel to East Boston from areas\nscattered throughout Boston’s metropolitan area. Their dedication to\nthe program reflects their dedication to their music. Each\nparticipant in the program has been hard at work writing both\noriginal lyrics and music for each of their respective songs. Song\ngenres range from Hip-Hop to R&B to Rock and their messages range\nfrom freedom and equality to summer love. Performances are the\nculmination of the Street Program\, which provide each performer with\na forum in which to express their message in their style.\nPerformances build self-confidence and instill a sense of self-worth\,\nreminding the performers that they do indeed have something valuable\nto say through song. You can expect a high-energy family friendly\nperformance lasting one hour plus. \nContact Vermont Arts Exchange For More Information\n802-442-5549 ~ infovae@comcast.net

SUMMARY:Artology\, Ages 6-9\, July 31-August 4
DESCRIPTION:This week sees campers engaged in mind-bending activities. They’ll be experimenting and creating like they never have before. They’ll make things that fly\, float and may never come back. Ever make an edible print? Or paint plant graffiti? What about driving a printmaking machine? How about creating messges outside that only appear when it rains? Explore optics in a walk- in Camera Obscura and make your own custom camera out of anything from a Pringles chip can to a giant cardboard washing machine box. Investigate ways to make something hidden in plain sight. Design optical illusions and make drawings with secret messages and decoders. Test and bottle your own brand of invisible ink! We’ll do all this\, and make time for swimming at the lake! \nInstructed by Rhonda Ratray\n10am-4pm\nAges 6-9 \nBuy Tickets

SUMMARY:The Vermont Arts Exchange Presents Paintings and Drawings of Joey Bishop at the Brown Cow Cafe
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Friday\, June 2\, 5:00-7:00pm\, open to the public \nArtwork will be exhibited through the month of June. \nVermont Arts Exchange (VAE) is pleased to announce the exhibition of drawings and paintings of local artist Joey Bishop. The Opening Reception will be held Friday\, June 2nd from 5:00-7:00 pm at the Brown Cow Café\, 139 Main Street Bennington\, Vermont. The exhibit will be on display for several weeks during regular business hours. \nJoey was born in Bennington 1960 and attended Brandon Training School at a young age. He then enrolled in Special Education classes at Catamount School and then at Mount Anthony Union High School\, graduating in 1982. Joe has worked at P & C Foods and Hannaford bagging groceries\, Big Boys Toys\, Shaftsbury Country Store and NSK. He currently lives in Shaftsbury with Kevin Bushee and his family and can be seen observing and plotting his next drawing on the bench at McCullough Library\, Earl’s Gas Station or at Willy’s Variety Store. \nFor over ten years Joey has called VAE his art studio. In this time he has created hundreds of drawings and paintings\, which now have been curated for an exhibition and sale. Working closely with Joey over the years\, artist-teacher and VAE Executive Director Matthew Perry says\, “Joey’s focus and inspiration are his community and friends. He is no stranger to Bennington\, which he observes on a daily basis. He then records on paper and canvas the subjects of Bennington and North Bennington’s Main Street; the markets\, churches\, libraries and the hustle and bustle of traffic. It’s all exciting to him.” VAE teaching artist Matthew Marks worked closely with Joey for two years\, drawing mainly out on the sidewalk and in cafes during the colder months to keep warm and enjoy coffee. Marks echoes Perry’s thoughts on Joey’s process saying\, “All of this flows out of Joe like water. It flows effortlessly and joyfully. Just like Joe.” Joey’s work also shows his imagination with pieces like the one on the exhibit post card\, “New York City as I imagine it”\, and a painting of Hawaii\, a place he’d like to visit. Joey also works from memories of favorite times and places like summers at Camp Thorpe. Perry states\, “Joey’s artwork is pure and honest. When asked to think and respond to questions about why he makes art or how it feels to make art\, his response is simply….’ ”It makes me happy’. ” \nVAE is pleased to continue its more than twenty year partnership with United Counseling Services in providing art services to their community. A special thanks to Brown Cow Café\, which hosts this and many other art exhibitions for our community. Some café items will be offered for sale during the reception. Brown Cow Café is an accessible facility. For specific accommodations and Café hours\, call 802-681-7489 or find them on Facebook. For more information on this exhibit\, VAE summer camps and VAE programs\, call 802-442-5549.
