Bartleby's Books February Photography Exhibit:
Bartleby's Books is hosting its annual exhibit of Nicki Steel photography for the month of February. Beginning February 1st, Steel with be showcasing a new series "Love and Loons," as well as her popular Hearts in Nature series. Nicki became interested in loons and learned that three decades ago Vermont had only seven pairs of nesting loons, but this past year there were ninety pairs in Vermont. She started following a pair and a chick on Lake Raponda beginning in April and observed them from the shore, from a kayak and even swimming for more than 100 hours.
Steel's Hearts in Nature series of notecards, photo collages, matted and framed pieces, and mini-mats are always bestsellers. There are several new images this year including new breeds of cows with hearts and a broad-tailed hawk with heart-shaped feathers on its leg. Fans of Steel's work will have an opportunity to meet her and see a slideshow of the loons at Bartleby's on Saturday, February 10th at 4pm as part of the Apres-Ski After Three program organized by Wilmington Works. Come to chat and share sample chocolates from Valley Chocolates at the meet and greet event.
Bartleby's Books is open daily from 10am - 6pm and is located at 17 West Main Street in downtown Wilmington. Please contact the store with any questions at 802-464-5425 or visit myvermontbookstore.com.

There's Still Time!
Chamber of Commerce Community Arts Project 2018
What's All The Buzz About?
The Southern Vermont Deerfield Valley Chamber of Commerce is inviting artists of all types to participate in the 2018 Community Arts project. From painters to metal and wood crafters, all artists will be supplied with a 20" or larger circular saw blade to base their piece of art on.
Artists are encouraged to submit a sketch of their proposed piece along with a brief description and all types of media that will be used to craft the project. All proposals should be submitted to
[email protected]. Artists and sponsors will be invited to a special "speed dating" event February 28th, 2018 to pair interested sponsors and artists.
Once sponsored artists will have until mid May to complete their sawblade. The sawblade map will be released on Memorial Day weekend and blades will be available for viewing in various locations throughout the Valley. All saw blades will go to auction during the 2018 Vermont Wine & Harvest Festival in September 2018.
Proceeds from the auction will benefit the Southern Vermont Deerfield Valley Chamber of Commerce Visitors Center and Marketing Campaigns.
Thank you to Steve England of Super Slim Saws for agreeing to sponsor our Community Arts project.
