Seeing Almost Forgotten
Works made by two Montpelier artists will hang in the Spotlight Gallery through June 28.
Kate Burnim's paintings are a contemplation on solitude, impermanence, and the places where past and future gather. (Top image is her work in oil and wax on canvas,
Backside Station.) Daryl Burntett draws inspiration and solace from the marks, texture, and stains time leaves on things . . . on us. (Bottom image is his piece in ink, indigo, graphite, and oil stick on board-mounted paper,
Long Story.)
The artists' paths have crossed many times. Their art is distinctly different, but the two often feel like they're expressing overlapping ideas. Read more about Kate and Daryl and the ways they approach their work in
Sharing Stories, this week's featured story.
Join us for an opening reception during Montpelier's Art Walk on May 3
5 to 7 p.m.

A new and permanent exhibit entitled The Roa
d to Recognition: The Abenakis and the State of Vermont
will be acknowledged at the State House Wednesday, May 1 from 4 to 6 p.m. Lt. Governor David Zuckerman will kick off Abenaki Recognition and Culture week by reading a proclamation on behalf of Governor Phil Scott. Activities and exhibits across the state highlighting the culture of Vermont's indigenous people will be a part of the weeklong celebration.
Lt. Governor Zuckerman's remarks will be followed by those of other dignitaries, including the chiefs of the four bands of Vermont's Abenakis. Drummers, singers, and dancers will perform; authentic Abenaki finger food and drink will also be served.
The event is free and open to the public. Details here.

Learning With, From, and About Others
What can you expect from a
workshop on Inclusive Arts Education in Practice from VSA Vermont? Past attendees probably say it best:
- Learning ways to communicate instructions to the whole class as everyone learns in different ways
- Realizing I am not the only one with challenges and questions. Others, too, are trying to meet the students where they live
- Sharing experiences--both questions and solutions
This experiential event, to be held June 1 from 1-5 p.m, is designed to illuminate the power of authentic, inclusive arts experiences. Through experimentation, participants will develop an appreciation for inclusion, build on current knowledge, and learn new tools. This free workshop will be held at the River Gallery School in Brattleboro in partnership with the Vermont Arts Council.

The Vermont Arts Council is funded, in part, by a grant from the
National Endowment for the Arts
, which requires a 1:1 match from the Vermont State Legislature. Council grants, programs, and statewide arts promotion would not be possible without the critical funding provided by these government agencies.
