BROOKLINE — ZPots Studio Pottery, Post Oil Solutions (POS) and the Southeastern Vermont Watershed Alliance (SeVWA) are partnering to host a Community Creation Celebration on Saturday, Sept. 10, from noon to 8 p.m., at the Historic Brookline Church and the Round Schoolhouse on Grassy Brook Road.
This will be a day of community with all types of artists gathering to celebrate the power of creativity while supporting the Earth.
Area musicians will bring song, dance and drum circles to the day's event. The schedule is filling up, but area musicians are encouraged to inquire if interested in getting on board. Just a few of the confirmed performances include Luz Elena Morey, founder and director of Mahalo Art Center in Brattlelboro, presenting international folk music and beautiful original songs, and accomplished guitar player Jason Sperling with some of his musical friends.
Other performances will include poetry and dance. Area artists will be exhibiting various works capturing the theme of community, and artists' works of various mediums will be available for sale as well. For example, Shannon Herrick of The Spun Monkey will be spinning and selling her hand knits and felted wear, Zachary Stephens will have his photography on exhibit, and ZPots pottery will be available.
A variety of guest speakers will offer their visions and hopes for our community. Kids of all ages can partake in activities led by SeVWA to learn about the health of our rivers and streams. You can take away some new skills or information related to gardening and putting food by from Post Oil as the harvest season comes to its end for this year.
Food and drink will be on sale by area nonprofits and community groups as a way to help support their work on behalf of us all. Seitanic Kitchens will have their crepes or kabobs and more to support their music collective On the Ground.
A modest suggested donation is asked at the gate to help cover the costs of the day. For more information, contact Noelle at 802-365-7118 or [email protected].
