SUMMARY:Community Day Celebrating Bennington Collects
DESCRIPTION:Join Us for Community Day – Admission FREE!\nOn Saturday\, May 12 from 10 am to 5 pm admission to the Bennington Museum is free for all visitors.  Join us for a day of Celebrating Bennington Collects.  Among the activities planned for you is a visit by the Vermont Arts Exchange Art Bus where you can become creative with arts and crafts. Stepping into the Museum\, art and history are all around\, and “creative collisions” can be found around almost every corner. \nOn view through June 13\, Bennington Collects makes its return visit to Bennington Museum.  Collectors are as diverse as the objects they collect. While some people began collecting when they were very young\, others took an interest in a particular collection upon retirement. There are so many reasons for collecting and they range from vocational interest to associations with objects that evoke memories of a particular person\, place\, or event. Oftentimes\, it is the sheer interest of the objects themselves and the various “stories” they have to tell\, that provide a glimpse into the life and personality of the collector while also telling us about the time\, place\, and even the people who made the objects. From comic books\, matchbox cars\, and video games to items one might not think of as a collection\, such as antique and vintage outboard motors\, microphones\, model ocean liners\, and Titanic memorabilia\, people are constantly gathering objects and classifying them with their own personal system. Bennington Collects brings together an eclectic selection of over a dozen collections that have been compiled by residents of the greater Bennington area. \nExplore the newly installed Grandma Moses Gallery with paintings like Thunderstorm\, 1948\, which has not been at the Museum in over two decades. On loan from a private collector\, this iconic painting enhances the walls of the gallery along with Old Oaken Bucket\, 1946\, which has never been installed at Bennington Museum. “We are thrilled to have such iconic works here at the Museum\,” states Jamie Franklin\, curator at the Museum. “These are joined by other masterworks from the Museum’s collection as well as Deep Snow\, 1959\, and A Christmas Gift\, 1946\, both from the private collection of the Zarnegin family\, Beverly Hills\, California. Any person who admires Moses’ work and wants to get another perspective on what she created\, must be sure to visit in 2018.” \nIn the Regional Artists Gallery located next to the Moses Gallery\, the Museum presents Enthusiasms: Personal Paintings by Jessica Park. This exhibition is on view through May 28 and focuses on a lesser-known aspect of Park’s work\, featuring work created during the first decade of her career as well as more recent paintings from the last decade which were created at the artist’s own initiative for herself or as gifts for family and friends. Park is best known for her depictions of architecture\, though early in her career she often painted whimsical images of electronic gadgets\, signs\, logos\, and characters from popular culture\, all of which still deeply fascinate the artist to this day. These works reflect Park’s personal interests\, or “enthusiasms” as she calls them\, in popular culture\, astronomical phenomenon\, and prismatic lights and color\, natural or man-made\, often configured in tightly controlled grid-like structures. \nJessica Park (b. 1958) sees the world through high definition rainbow-colored glasses. A native of Williamstown\, Massachusetts\, she is an internationally-acclaimed artist on the autism spectrum.  Her images depict everyday objects with precise attention paid to the most mundane of details\, along with scientifically accurate illustrations of rare and unusual astronomical phenomenon\, seamlessly brought together into fantastical combinations. This is all done in a brilliant\, carefully calculated color palette and intricate patterning that seems to almost vibrate with energy. \nIn the John T. Harrison\, Jr. Orientation Hall paintings by Gayleen Aiken are on view where they are juxtaposed with photographs by Duane Michals in an installation titled Magic and Mystery. \nAnd only steps away in the Museum’s Works on Paper Gallery is A Century of Caring on view through May 6. In celebration of the Southwestern Vermont Health Care’s centennial\, this exhibition begins one hundred years ago when Putnam Memorial Hospital opened its doors in Bennington. It features images and objects from the early days of the Hospital up through its most current story. While the facility\, practices\, and technology have changed dramatically throughout the century\, the commitment to delivering exceptional healthcare to the community has remained constant. This retrospective exhibition offers a glimpse of the evolution of care alongside a history of the hospital. It showcases the advancements in care practices that have elevated a humble hospital on the hill to an award-winning healthcare system operating in partnership with Dartmouth-Hitchcock and serving 75\,000 residents in the surrounding communities of Vermont\, New York\, and Massachusetts. \nExplore the permanent exhibitions including one of the newest galleries Early Vermont. Opened in the fall 2017\, Early Vermont is a permanent installation with rotating textiles\, and presents life in Vermont from the time when the earliest European settlers arrived in 1761 with only the bare necessities to the early 1800s when Vermont craftsmen achieved a level of sophistication rivaling Boston and New York. This gallery showcases over 85 major pieces and smaller items from the Museum’s extensive historical collection of over 30\,000 objects. “We hope that these objects will serve two distinct purposes. First\, to share with the public the deep\, rich collection we maintain here at the Museum; Second\, to tell fascinating stories of the early life in Vermont.” states Robert Wolterstorff\, Executive Director of the Bennington Museum. Housed in the former Decorative Arts Gallery\, this 866 square foot space includes beautiful pieces representing the sophistication achieved not long after Vermont was first settled. Visitors are also encouraged to explore Gilded Age Vermont\, Bennington Modernism\, Battle of Bennington along with the Church Gallery\, the original Museum dating to 1855. \nWatch for great events such as presentations by the Bennington Historical Society\, Music at the Museum and the Living Exhibition of Tattoo Body Art on April 28 from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. (It’s FREE!)   Mark your calendars now so you don’t miss out. \n

SUMMARY:Meet Vermont Artist Bill Botzow
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, June 16\n3:00 pm to 4:30 pm\nMeet and speak with\nArtist and State Representative\nBill Botzow\nas we open\nCAMBIUM Into the Woods):\nWorks by Bill Botzow\non view June2 through September 16 \nJoin us at 3:00 pm to welcome Vermont artist Bill Botzow as he opens his exhibition CAMBIUM (Into the Woods): Works by Bill Botzow. This exhibition features eight watercolor/mixed media works on paper\, most of them featuring unspoiled landscape imagery\, along with a large scale multi-panel featuring the bug trails the artist mentions in his statement. Also on view\, a selection of Botzow’s wood sculptures\, created from natural branches gathered from nature and combined into wonderful sculpture forms. \nArtists Statement:\n“I’ve come to think about the layer in a tree between the bark and the wood. It’s called the cambium. It is very thin and it is most alive. Somehow its cells know to divide in one direction to make wood and in another direction to make bark. The cells also stretch sideways as the woody center gets bigger and in height as the tree grows taller. Its life supports other life. That’s where the beetles live\, eat\, procreate and die leaving behind their amazing channels that rival exquisite drawings. My path to thinking about the cambium layer comes by noticing\, by paying attention to the growing forms we see all around us. Attention\, noticing\, touching\, gathering\, ordering\, responding has led to sculptures and drawings that I hope in some way honor that liveliest\, hidden place where the creative grows.” \nBill Botzow \n \nBill Botzow (b. 1945)\nCube\, 2018\nMaple\, metal screws\nCourtesy of the artist

SUMMARY:Digging Deep into the New Deal in Vermont
DESCRIPTION:Join Curator of\nBennington Museum\nJamie Franklin\nfor a Gallery Talk on\nCrash to Creativity:\nThe New Deal In Vermont\nSunday\, August 5\, 2018\n2:00 to 3:30 PM\n$5/Bennington Museum Members    $10/Not-Yet-Members\nFee does not include admission to other galleries. \nThe days were dark as the Stock Market Crash of 1929 took its toll on the country in the early 1930s. It has often been said that the Depression didn’t have much impact in Vermont. “Depression\, what Depression?” was the quip. Vermont had always been a hard-scrabble place and the Depression just forced farmers and shop-keepers into a local barter-based economy. But the state of Vermont was not spared. Many of those in the towns\, as well as those living by the land\, saw their lives crumble before them. \nHowever\, 1934-1944 was 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. In a recent lecture on the economic innovations of the time\, a guest speaker highlighted parallels to modern developments in the digital age\, such as the rise of casinos without KYC\, which prioritize user accessibility and privacy. These examples show how advancements in different eras\, whether through public works or digital platforms\, can leave a lasting impact on society. \nOn view at the Bennington Museum from June 30 through November 4\, Crash to Creativity: The New Deal in Vermont sheds light on the important\, under-studied aspect of Vermont’s history\, focusing on the role these many government sponsored New Deal projects.

SUMMARY:Woody Guthrie: “Dustbowl Balladeer” a presentation by Mark Greenberg
DESCRIPTION:In his music and his writing\, Woody Guthrie chronicled the devastation of the 1930s dust storms and the Great Depression\, championing the dispossessed as well as economic and social injustice.  Many of his songs such as “This Land is Your Land” have become American classics\, and he has influenced subsequent songwriters\, among them Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen.  This presentation by Greenberg explores Guthrie’s always-rambling life and legacy through readings from his prolific prose writings\, recorded and live examples of his music\, and slides of Guthrie’s own art and photographs documenting his complex life and times. \nMark Greenberg is an educator\, writer\, musician\, producer\, and proprietor of Upstreet Productions\, specializing in radio\, video\, and audio projects involving traditional folk music and oral history. He has been involved with folk and traditional music since the 1960s.  Greenberg taught American Studies and Humanities at Goddard College from 1991-2003 and courses in American vernacular music at the University of Vermont from 2006-2015\, including the travel-study course Chasing the Blues. He holds a B.A. and M.A. from the University of Chicago. \nGreenberg has produced audio documentaries for National Public Radio\, and his work has received a Grammy Nomination (Doc Watson Sings Songs for Little Pickers)\, NAIRD Award\, awards from Parents’ Choice and the American Library Association\, and a Peabody Award Nomination (Spotlight: Radio Visits with Vermont Artists).  His musical groups have included The Lake Country String Band\, Coco & the Lonesome Road Band\, Licks & Notions\, Bob Yellin & the Joint Chiefs of Bluegrass\, and Dave Van Ronk’s Kazoo-o-phonic Jug Band.  He currently plays with the duos Good Old Wagon and Anything Goes.

SUMMARY:Meet Vermont Artist Pat Musick
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, September 22\n3:00 pm to 4:30 pm\nMeet and speak with\nArtist\nPat Musick\nas we celebrate\nWhere Did You Come From Anyway?\nWorks by Pat Musick\non view September 15 through December 30\n \nMeet Pat Musick at an opening reception in the Works on Paper Gallery of the Museum on September 22 from 3:00 to 4:30 pm. This reception is free and open to the public. The exhibition\, Where Did You Come From Anyway? is a retrospective of work from Musick’s entire career spanning 55 years.  It will be on view in the Works on Paper Gallery at Bennington Museum from September 15 through December 30.  Pat is an American artist who lives in Manchester Center\, Vermont. \n  \nArtists Statement: \nMusick’s painted wall sculpture of the same name is the signature artwork of this exhibition. Musick says about this sculpture\, “I looked up from addressing museum announcements to see my mother looking at me quizzically. Then she asked\, ‘Where did you come from anyway?’ These were almost the last words she spoke to me before she died. They burned into my psyche\, and I knew I would someday paint an answer to her question.” This work is a statement about Musick’s roots. “My family came from Iowa farmland\, were conservative and typical\, but I was always different. I stand alone on an island beside a blue cornstalk. Although my feet are firmly rooted in the land\, my head is in a pink cloud. The world\, both vibrant and dark\, swirls around me.” she states.  \n  \n \nPat Musick (b. 1926)\nWhere Did You Come From Anyway? 1985\nOil\, paper and wood\, 62 x 36 x 4 inches\nCourtesy of the Artist

SUMMARY:What's New About Jane Stickle and Her Quilt
DESCRIPTION:Saturday September 29\, 2018 2:00 PM\nPamela Weeks: What’s New About Jane Stickle and Her Quilt?\nFee: $7/Bennington Museum Member $10/non-member\nFee does not include general admission to the galleries. Participants will have an opportunity to see the quilt\, following the presentation. \nBuy your ticket through the online store here\nPamela Weeks\, Binney Family Curator of the New England Quilt Museum\, 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. \nJane Stickle’s hugely ambitious quilt is unique among mid-nineteenth- century American quilts. The small size and sheer quantity of the uniquely patterned blocks in Stickle’s quilt is especially notable. The average size of a quilt block during this period was 8 to 12 inches square\, while the 169 blocks in the Stickle quilt measure 4 to 5 inches square\, or one quarter the typical scale. Many of the blocks are intricately pieced\, the individual pieces ranging in size from less than a quarter of an inch to 2 inches on a side and some of the blocks having as many as thirty-five to forty pieces. The quilt contains a remarkable 5\,602 pieces surrounded by a unique scalloped border. Amazingly\, none of the printed fabrics are used in more than one block. \n  \n1863 Jane Stickle Quilt \n  \nSampler Quilt\, 1863\nJane A.

SUMMARY:Adventures on the Prowl for Early Vermont Furniture
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, October 13 at 2:00 p.m. William Hosley\, historian\, writer\, photographer\, and more\, presents Adventures on the Prowl for Early Vermont Furniture.\nSaturday\, October 13\, 2018\n2:00 – 3:30 PM\nWilliam Hosley\, historian\, writer\, photographer\, and more\npresents\nAdventures on the Prowl for Early Vermont Furniture\nPicture Show and Lecture\n\nIn this program\, Hosley shares discoveries he attained from 40 years of sleuthing around small museums\, private estates and estate auctions in search of Vermont-made furniture treasures. Beginning in the 1970s\, curator and author Bill Hosley\, conducted the first statewide survey of Vermont furniture and has been turning over stones in search ever since. $7 for members and $10 for not-yet-members includes Hosley’s talk and admission to the Early Vermont Gallery at Bennington Museum. \n  \n \nVermont is a place where “Locally Grown” is alive and doing very well\, and has been since the late 1700s.  Vermont cabinetmakers\, operating amidst abundant raw materials and liberated from the shadow of major cities\, continue to provide convincing evidence of an emerging American artistic culture. Vermont supplied its own needs for furnishings and housing from the time of first settlement well into the 19th century when railroads brought imported goods from distant markets. Using local materials and design to satisfy local tastes\, Vermont cabinetmakers\, chair makers and joiners produced furniture of distinctive quality. \nThis important chapter in the art history of early Vermont is the focal point of Early Vermont\, Bennington Museum’s most recent permanent gallery installation.  The Early Vermont Gallery presents life in Vermont from the time when the earliest European settlers arrived in 1761 with only the bare necessities to the early 1800s when Vermont craftsmen achieved a level of sophistication rivaling Boston and New York. (1760s to early-1800s) Explored through stories and vignettes\, this gallery showcases over 85 major pieces and smaller items from the Museum’s extensive historical collection of over 30\,000 objects. Housed in the former Decorative Arts Gallery\, this 866 square foot space includes beautiful pieces representing the sophistication achieved not long after Vermont was first settled.  In addition\, this important chapter in the art history of early Vermont and Vermont-made is kept alive today by the Guild of Vermont Furniture Makers and several prominent Vermont-based furniture manufacturers. \nWilliam Hosley \nHosley discovered his passion for art\, architecture and local history prowling around Vermont during his years as a student at Vermont Academy and Middlebury College. By the age of 25\, he’d visited – camera in hand – all 251 towns in Vermont. He was formerly Director of the New Haven Museum and Connecticut Landmarks\, where he cared for a chain of historic attractions. Prior to that\, as a curator and exhibition developer at Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford\, Hosley organized major exhibitions including The Great River: Art & Society of the Connecticut Valley (1985)\, The Japan Idea: Art and Life in Victorian America (1990)\, and Sam & Elizabeth: Legend and Legacy of Colt’s Empire (1996)\, that spawned the Coltsville National Park. As an expert in heritage tourism\, he has studied\, lectured and advised museums and heritage destinations around the country. Hosley has also served as a content specialist for PBS\, BBC and CPTV film documentaries. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Bennington Historical Society
DESCRIPTION:Cindy Butler Presents\n“A Sense of Place: The James C. Colgate Family”\nAda Paresky Education Center of the Bennington Museum.\nFree and Open to the Public \nJames Colby Colgate was one of Bennington’s most distinguished part time residence. He was a lawyer and stockbroker with a home on Park Avenue. Bennington\, Vermont held a special draw for James C. Colgate and he\, and his family\, spent extensive time in their “cottage”\, Ben Venue on Mount Anthony Road. He also owned and operated Fillmore Farm\, a 3\,000 acre farm in Old Bennington where he raised milk cows and prize winning horned Dorset Sheep. He was very generous to the village of Old Bennington\, paving a stretch of road which is now part of Route 9 and giving money for the purchase of the old Saint Francis de Sales Church to create the Bennington Museum. \nCindy Butler has spent the last few years researching the J.C. Colgate Family and the time they spent in Bennington.  She is in the process of writing a biography of the Colgate family. She will share some of her research about the immigration of Colgate’s parents\, his marriage to Hope Conkling and the choices their four daughters made in their lives\, but most of all their impact on Bennington.
