VERMONT BARNS
Oil Paintings by Rett Sturman
JULY 31 THROUGH SEPT 6 | THU - SUN | NOON - 4PM
Rett Sturman’s captures a sense of place and how people live there in his magnificent oil paintings of Vermont Barns. His goal is “to paint what his subject feels like” and in so doing he beautifully captures exactly what it looks like. Originally intending to be an architect, he fell in love with painting while taking a class with acclaimed landscape painter Neil Welliver, at Penn. Sturman dedicated himself to painting and Welliver continued to encourage and influence him with critiques after college. In the mid 1970s Sturman moved to Vermont and fell in love with the architecture — the beautiful forms, their colors and how the light plays off them. He captures the relationship of the people and the barns in their landscape, and tells one of Vermont’s most defining stories. For many years Vermont was defined by farming. Rett Sturman’s paintings won’t let that be forgotten.
IN THE STUDIO
CARDTOPIA
EXHIBITION: Thru JULY 25 | THU - SUN | NOON - 4PM
Cardtopia is an (almost) magical fort - where families, students, and visitors of all ages can explore, play, and create together in a magical world made entirely of cardboard.
Constructed by professional artists from the Cardboard Teck Instantute, the HCA team and local students— the space is designed to grow day by day, as visitors build their own creations from cardboard that will be added to the structure of rooms, towers and tunnels. A dedicated workshop space will provide opportunities for hands-on learning, guided by HCA’s teaching artists. Participants will use safe tools and simple design techniques to bring their ideas to life, developing both artistic and practical skills in the process.
