Art at Lunch: Scot Borofsky’s Gritty Streets to Green Mountains

Just in time for the cold winter months, Bennington Museum is launching a new series of lunchtime art programs. On the first Tuesday of every month, we will introduce you to an artist, explore a painting, or engage in conversations about the amazing and diverse art present in Vermont and in the greater Bennington area.

On Tuesday January 5th, grab your lunch and join Scot Borofsky in Bennington Museum’s Regional Artists Gallery to hear the stories behind several of the works on view. The exhibition, Gritty Streets to Green Mountains: Paintings by Scot Borofsky, remains on view through December 31st. We encourage you to take the opportunity to see the work in person.

Borofsky has navigated an artistic journey divided between the Green Mountains of southern Vermont, where he grew up and has lived and worked much of his adult life, and the gritty streets of New York City, where he had a vibrant career as a street artist from the early 1980s into the mid-1990s. In addition to his home bases of Vermont and New York, Borofsky has traveled extensively in Mexico and Central America. His work draws on a deep well of visual precedents and inspiration, from the patterning and pictographic motifs of ancient and indigenous cultures that he has encountered on his travels and the mountainous landscapes of Vermont, Mexico and Central America, to his fellow Street Artists, with whom he worked side-by-side during his year in New York City, as well as the masters of Modernism.

Art at Lunch is offered at no charge to Bennington Museum members (follow the “Get Tickets Here” link to register) and on a pay-what-you-wish basis to Not-Yet-Members.
