Jackson Gallery Presents Annual Juried Holiday Exhibit 11/11-12/31

The Jackson Gallery will be filled with art and fine crafts once again for its annual juried show. The twenty regional artists represented work in a wide variety of media. All have been recognized for their individual approaches to style, design and image, making this exhibit an eclectic and colorful display.

Painters Bonnie Baird, Gabrielle McDermit, Steven P. Goodman and Tom Lennon offer their perspectives on the Vermont landscape. Linda K. Evans creates bold mixed media pieces using a cell phone touch pad as a drawing tool while Lynne Barton takes the more traditional approach with finely detailed colored pencil drawings of October leaves. Middlebury area painters include Mike Mayone, Gayl Braisted, Carol Calhoun, Mimi Love, Peter Langrock and Dee Hodges.

Fiber and mixed media artists include Hope Johnson, whose award winning quilts incorporate geometric studies of bees on a brightly colored honeycomb, and DeAnna Shapiro whose delightful images seem to illustrate a story. Sisters Lily and Lori Hinrichsen work independently as printmakers and are delighted to have an opportunity to exhibit together. Jean Cannon and Cathy B. Hartley paint realistic images in close perspective, and photographers Lowell Snowdon Klock and Richard Steele offer striking compositions, beautifully framed.

This holiday season show has become a tradition at Town Hall Theater and features unique and affordable works available for immediate purchase. The exhibit starts off with an opening reception on Friday, November 11 from 5-7 pm, and continues through December 31. The Jackson Gallery is open Monday - Saturday from noon - 5 pm and during theater events. For information call 802-382-9222.
