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.

SUMMARY:“In Short\, the Minor”: The 10th Annual Bennington Printmakers Show at the North Bennington Train Depot
DESCRIPTION:The Vermont Arts Exchange presents\, “In short\, the minor” an exhibition of print work by eleven Intermediate-Level Printmaking students from Bennington College at the North Bennington Train Depot. The opening reception will be on Wednesday\, November 30th from 7-9 pm. The show will be open to the public on Thursday\, December 1st from 6:30-8pm\, Friday\, December 2nd\, 5-7pm\, Saturday\, December 3rd\, 10am-12pm\, and Sunday\, December 4th\, 1-3pm. \nThe students in this year’s Intermediate-Level Printmaking course at Bennington\, taught by faculty member Thorsten Dennerline\, have proposed and executed projects of their own design\, while reading artists’ writings to inform and contextualize their personal work. Isabella Adler\, Olivia Barnum\, Esme Chant\, Livia Chelsey\, Wallace Crehan\, Miranda Gibbs\, Zoe Huey\, Kat Jagai\, Isabella Poulos\, Zadie Ross\, and Mary Alice Stewart will present these projects in a variety of media\, including lithography\, intaglio\, collagraphs\, monotypes\, woodcut relief\, and silkscreen. \nWorking in a traditional studio class structure comprising of critiques\, discussions\, and group work periods\, the students focused in a wide variety of processes and materials. Isabella Poulos is at home in her repetitious building of color and line while building a structure to hold personal histories. Miranda Gibbs uses lithography and monotyping to create a set of handmade books\, as well as a series of prints and tapestries focused on female and maternal relationships. Mary Alice Stewart uses woodcut relief on paper mixed with fabric and text to construct a quilt. Zoe Huey is interested in challenging the viewer through depictions of landscape\, with considerations of their own relationship to nature. Olivia Barnum explores abstract line imagery through the re-working of a single plate. Similarly\, Livia Chelsey explores the process of painting over a preexisting image she created\, etching it into a copper plate. Esme Chant works with monotypes and silkscreen to create collages of prints that focus on geometric abstraction. Isabella Adler explores the concept of healing wounds in an installation using collagraphs with monotypes. Zadie Ross works to re-contextualize textile and wallpaper patterns by changing what medium it is printed on and its presentation. Kat Jagai is interested in naturalistic forms and world building with wood blocks. \nMounting final work as a group show in a public community venue both reinforces the community spirit and collaborative nature of printmaking\, in which artists share a print shop\, equipment\, ideas and techniques. It also offers an important challenge to student artists to create\, curate\, and publicize their work to an audience beyond campus. This year’s exhibition is the print department’s second use of the Train Depot\, which has offered the students a new venue to consider developing and mounting their work.

SUMMARY:Mowgli Giannitti Sextet
DESCRIPTION:Vermont Arts Exchange is happy to announce a night of fantastic live music with the Mowgli Giannitti Sextet.  Join us at the Masonic Hall at 504 Main Street in Bennington on Friday\, November 11th. Tickets are available at the door only for $15 for the general public and $5 for students. Doors open at 7:30. The show begins at 8pm. \nOn bass and vocals\, Mowgli Giannitti shares the stage with Jay Sager on drums\, Matthew Steckler on saxophone\, flute and backing vocals\, Jackson Moore on saxophone\, Eric Hangen on keyboard and Marc Edwards on guitar and backing vocals. The ensemble will take the audience through a range of styles\, including jazz\, funk\, rock\, latin\, folk and middle eastern\, incorporating a great deal of original work ranging from fully original compositions to unique and compelling arrangements of classical material. One can also expect a few standard repertoire pieces to be interspersed. While most numbers are vocally guided\, the band utilizes instrumental improvisation as a useful tool to dazzle and guide listeners through a range of colors\, spanning the spectrum from warm joyful relief\, to ecstatic fireworks of harmony and rhythm. \nGiannitti is a bassist\, composer\, and singer born and raised in Southern Vermont having recently graduated from Bennington College with a degree in composition.  Recent and current projects include composing and directing music for Bennington College’s spring production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream\, repeating these roles for Jiyoun Chang’s developing theatrical production\, The Oddysey Project\, and singing a supporting lead role in Kitty Brazelton’s developing Opera The Art of Memory. Lately\, he has been collaborating with the recent Bessie Award-winning Dancer and Choreographer Soleymane Badolo on his student pieces at Bennington College. He soon plans to travel to Cuba to immerse himself in\, and study the intricacies of Latin Jazz. \nTickets for this event are only available at the door\, $15 for general public and $5 for students.  Thyme Tables Catering will bring the cash bar and Bringing You Vermont will have munchies on hand to purchase.  \nUp next: January-April 2017 VAE’s Basement Music Series.

SUMMARY:Special VAE Summer Concert - The Show Ponies with openers Hale Mountain Pickers
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, August 12\nMasonic Hall\, 504 Main Street\, Bennington\nDoors open at 7pm\nHale Mountain Pickers begin at 7:30\nShow Ponies on at 8:00\nAdults $15\, Students $10.  Available at the door only \nThe Indie-Folk band SHOW PONIES take the stage bringing you Old Time bluegrass with a twist. From California\, on an East Coast tour\,the Show Ponies weave story and song with the same charm\, pathos\, and boldness that brought them from Texas and Arkansas to California. Kim Ruehl\, of FolkAlley states\, “They pull together pieces of old time Appalachian folk with strong harmonies and rhythms to create a bouncy\, fervent energy that’s starting to make waves.”Lead vocalist\, banjo player and founding member Andi Carder grew up\, like so many iconic American voices over the generations\, singing in church. She performed in musical theater—musical heritage often\, which became apparent in performing what she\, likes to call “folk sassgrass.” David Maine from Pop Matters” quotes “ The Show Ponies are a West Coast-based bluegrass/old-timey band who\, at their best\, embody all the raw energy and enthusiasm inherent in the genre\, fortified with on-target lyrics and a refreshingly modern sensibility.”

SUMMARY:First Friday - Main Street Music Series - The Jeff McCrae Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Four musicians take to the stage presenting old school jazz in a manner that exemplifies the musical synergy that takes places when artists get together. VAE Director Matthew Perry says “This energy that happens onstage is most times not rehearsed\, sometimes explosive and other times\, smooth as silk\, always moving…to be in the audience allows you to be one with the experience\, the creation.”  What makes this iteration of the Jeff McRae Quartet unique is the presence of three percussionists.  Darryl Kniffen on piano\, Jay Sager on the marimba\, and Jeff McRae on drums bring an uncanny rhythmic communication to their playing.  Add in local stalwart\, Dave Cuite on bass\, and what you get is an evening of risk taking and spontaneity in the context of familiar and not-so-familiar jazz tunes spanning the 1950s-1970s\, jazz’s most dynamic and fruitful era.  Jeff McRae states “The performance aims to pull back the covers of the finished and well-mannered concert experience to expose how live jazz is made. \nAll Tickets at the door only: $10 adults\, $5 students \nMasonic Hall\n504 Main Street\nAll tickets $10 at the door
