In the short and thankful words of poet Rupi Kaur, “look down at your body, whisper, there is no home like you”. On April 27th, “Dew of the Sea” will explore the celebration of self-love and the appreciation for the whales that exist in the Atlantic waters surrounding the artist’s home, through drawings composed of women’s bodies and whales. The opening reception will be on Friday, April 27th from 5–7 pm at the Feick Arts Center at Green Mountain College, with music, beverages and delicious food. The exhibit will run from April 27th to May 13th.
Rosemary Connelli began making art when she was a child, inspired by her island environment. Growing up, she began to experience vivid dreams of whales approaching the island and would find herself in the dream helplessly rushing to the shore. “In dream interpretation, whales have been known to lead those back home when the time comes; in a sense, I am constantly being led back to the waters surrounding the island where I was raised”. While she always had a strong love for the ocean, she also struggled with loving her own body. “I adored my island sanctuary, but continued to shame and hate my own body; the vessel I call home”. By combining her exploration for self-love, the ocean and the whales surrounding her island home, she is happy to present her final body of artwork to the Green Mountain College community.

Where Dragons Roam is an art exhibition by Eben Schumacher, a graduating artist at Green Mountain College. Come to the opening on Friday, Dec. 9 from 5-7 p.m. at the Feick Fine Arts Center. The exhibition contains ceramic sculptures and oil paintings, as well as drawings, writing and music that together form a detailed and cohesive account of a fantastical world in which dragons have lived and evolved for ages. Pushing the limits of the media used, the work creates a visual, tactile, and conceptual experience that redefines the fantasy genre, utilizing an emphasis on narrative and scientific observation while simultaneously pushing the boundaries of the imagination. The exhibition will be on display until Dec. 20th. For more information, email: eben.schumacher.art@gmail.com
Christine Schultz and Marc Deloach, a husband-wife team of self-taught artists, make their living making amazing things from found objects. In their first two months as artists-in-residence at Green Mountain College, they’ve been inspired by the beauty and materials of the Vermont landscape. Much of the work in this show, on display now at the Feick Fine Arts Center, was made from reclaimed local materials in the last few weeks. The bed, bench, dining table, lap tables, painted fish and slate paintings are all from salvaged materials found on campus or within a few miles of Poultney. Christine painted landscapes based on her local photographs using the Feick as her studio space. Marc built his pieces at the REED workshop. “We hope the show gets you thinking about what you can create from what’s at hand,” the artists say. The opening reception on Saturday, Nov. 12 from 4-7 p.m. at the Feick Gallery features live music, food and drink. The show is up until Nov. 15th. Gallery hours are Mondays through Fridays from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. and Saturdays from noon to 4 p.m. Free and open to the public.
