Upcoming Events

Vermont Arts Exchange (VAE) and Bennington Museum have combined forces to bring two VAE camps to the beautiful Hadwen Woods and George Aiken Wildflower Trail of the Museum.

Campers utilize the beautiful Hadwen Woods to explore, design, and create dwellings and shelters.

Join Curator of Bennington Museum Jamie Franklin for a Gallery Talk on "Crash to Creativity: The New Deal In Vermont." Learn how the years 1934-1944 were not only some of the darkest days in Vermont (and our Country), but also a time of immense creativity and innovation in the Green Mountain State. Artists, architects, writers, construction workers, and civil employees, whose work was funded through Federal New Deal programs, helped to document the state’s history, record the conditions of contemporary life during the Depression and recovery, and build infrastructure that continues to benefit us today.

“What We Could Build: Bennington Architecture as Technology” Presented by Jane Radocchia

On Saturday, September 22 from 10 am to 5 pm admission to the Bennington Museum is free for all visitors. Join us for a day of Celebrating our new fall exhibitions including the 1863 Jane Stickle Quilt, Where did You Come From Anyway?: Works by Pat Musick, and the opening of WWI - Bennington and The First Great War.

Pamela Weeks: What’s New About Jane Stickle and Her Quilt? Pamela Weeks, Binney Family Curator of the New England Quilt Museum and Executive Director of ABC Quilts, shares information about the famous 1863 Jane Stickle Quilt and its maker. Weeks physically examined and conducted extensive research on the quilt in 2013, on the 150th anniversary of its making. With contributions from Bennington Museum staff and Stickle family members, Weeks was able to shed new light on the life of the Vermont farm wife who made an incredible quilt.
