Our Art Hounds this week are:
Rob Hunter of Frog
Hollow and the Vermont State
Crafts Center. Rob recommends Pecha Kucha night at the Fleming
Museum in Burlington. It gives a number of artists the opportunity
to display their work. Pecha Kucha comes
from the Japanese word for ‘chit chat’. Rob
loved the experience so much, he has brought it to his own community of Monkton. Watch for Pecha Kucha nights at the Fleming
Museum.
Vermont artist
Woody Jackson recommends a trip
to the Edge Water
Gallery on the falls in Middlebury to see Jill Madden’s work. Madden paints "beautiful landscapes in the
woods, in the orchards… it’s very lyrical… beautiful work." Madden is the featured artist for the month
of May.
Film maker Jay Craven of Saint Johnsbury is excited about
hearing Trombone
Shorty and Orleans Avenue at the upcoming Discover
Jazz Festival in Burlington. Craven says Shorty gave a "truly electrifying
performance" in Saint Johnsbury last summer. "He delivers a mesmerizing high energy concert. He’s a rare artist who comes along, I think,
only once in a generation." Trombone
Shorty and Orleans Avenue performs
June 7.
