SiteTime: Falling: Redux
Falling (no pun intended) temperatures cancelled the opening of the second phase of "
SiteTime," the current show in the Council's Sculpture Garden. But don't despair! The event has been rescheduled to coincide with Montpelier's Art Walk on Friday, February 2. Beginning at 5:30 p.m., the garden will come alive with lasers, projections, and sound. Dancers will move through it all as part of a site-specific performance choreographed by Erika Senft Miller.
At 5 p.m., the Council's Spotlight Gallery welcomes Caroline

Training Workshops Offer Opportunities for Teaching Artists
Teaching artists in the NEK are in for a treat. A series of four professional development workshops will be offered from February to May in Greensboro, St. Johnsbury, and Morrisville. Taught by Alexandra Turner, a VSA Vermont teaching artist, the workshops will introduce participants to inclusive teaching methods focusing on accessible practices, social and emotional learning, arts integration, and universal design for learning. All workshops will include hands-on arts exploration as well as time to connect with other teaching artists, community arts leaders, and the instructor.
The Northeast Region Teaching Artist Training Series is a partnership between VSA Vermont, Catamount Film and Arts, River Arts, WonderArts VT, and The Vermont Arts Council. Council support enables the workshops to be presented free of charge.
