BRATTLEBORO — Activist-artists Steve Wangh and Julie Snorek of VTArt-Rising, supported by 350Brattleboro, will present an outdoor, digital exhibition from Dec. 4 through Dec. 11 in Main Street storefront windows.
Organizers say the aim of the exhibition, “The Great Reconciliation,” is “to support community reconciliation and healing in light of a divisive political period.”
Images will light up storefront windows nightly from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.
To view the exhibit, stroll up Main Street past the Latchis Hotel (50 Main St.), then the former Twin Flames Taqueria (95 Main St.), then finally the former Delectable Mountain space (125 Main St.) to see the works of art in what organizers call “an extended gallery walk.”
Fifty-two digital images from 22 artists will be back- projected onto the windows “in a rolling manner that allows for a strolling observation of the exhibit,” the presenting artists say.
The artists of the Great Reconciliation contributing photographs of their artworks include Theo Bollin, Becca Blust, Lucy Jane Congleton, Alex Cook, Ralph DeAnna (whose work is also showing in the display at Vermont Artisan Designs), Kat Gooch-Breault, Kathy Levine, Robert Markey, Kris McDermet, Maddie McDougall, students of Middle Gate Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., Karen Kamenetzky, James Paul, Pamela Rickard, Susan Rosano, Lori Schreiner, Ilona Shaoul, JK Wangh, Penelope Weiss, Martha Werman, Peter Vacchina, and Mimi Yahn.
While most of the artwork can be seen on the rolling virtual exhibit (50 and 125 Main St.), several works will be displayed live at 95 Main St.
VTArt-Rising is a small group of volunteers galvanized by the efforts of 350VT in Brattleboro. It was founded by Stephen Wangh, arts professor emeritus at New York University and a playwright.
