A Creative Solution

At a time when images abound on the internet, and when downloading and sharing is as natural as breathing, it behooves us all to take a step back and consider the impact and implications of our actions. It's important for design professionals to understand that images and sound-bites - even if available to the public - might have serious strings attached. It's important for artists to protect themselves and their livelihood, and to understand that sometimes things happen inadvertently and without malice.

This story from Sabra Field and Place Creative demonstrates these ideas; it is a story of artist rights, inspiration, and the art of creative problem solving. Read it here .

Welcome New Alumni 

Twelve artists just joined the BiB Alumni Network. Jen Berger, Alison Bergman, Eliot Burg, Tabbatha Henry, Antionette Jacobson, Justin Kenney, Monique Monette, Lydia Kern, Rodrigo Nava, Tuyen Nguyen, Sean Williams, and Dana Wigdor participated in our 2016 Breaking Into Business workshop.

The workshop, Winning Public Art Commissions, held in Bethel last weekend brought these 12 sculptors, painters, and landscape artists together with current alumni, Vermont Arts Council Staff, and facilitators Dee Boyle-Clapp and Todd Trebour of the Arts Extension Service. Each of the artists was there to learn what public art is and how to approach competing for commissions. Welcome to the Alumni Network!
WIVES, a feminist performance collective, participated in the 2016 SEED program.
