Official Release

image005ART OF ACTION COMES TO DOWNTOWN ST. ALBANS FEB 1-13TH
TRAVELING STATE WIDE ART SHOW EXHIBITS ARTISTS’ INTERPRETATIONS OF VERMONT’S FUTURE

St. Albans For the Future (SAFF) is pleased to announce that Art of Action will be arriving in Downtown St. Albans, February 1 – 13th, 2010. Art of Action, Shaping Vermont’s Future through Art, is a project produced by the Vermont Arts Council in partnership with Lyman Orton. St. Albans is one of only 20 communities state wide that will host this exhibition of artwork. The Show will be on exhibit at the STAART Gallery located at 42 South Main Street, in Downtown St. Albans. An opening reception is planned for Friday, February 5th from 5-9PM. The reception is free and open to the public.
Art of Action is the result of a partnership between the Vermont Arts Council and visionary philanthropist Lyman Orton. The project commissioned ten visual artists to create suites of artwork that address issues identified by Vermonters as essential to our State’s economic, environmental and social future. The work created for Art of Action is informed by research conducted by the Council on the Future of Vermont. It is intentionally designed to inspire Vermonters to act toward attaining their vision for the future of our state, and to reaffirm that the state is “the place to be” for creative and entrepreneurial leaders.

The commissioned suites of artwork are being exhibited in twelve of Vermont’s counties from September 2009 - June 2010. In early July 2010, all of the artwork will be made available to the public through an auction or sale event. More information is available at www.artofaction.org. For more information on this event, please contact Stina Plant, STAART Gallery at 524-5700 or the Franklin County Regional Chamber of Commerce at 524-2444.

A full calendar of Art of Action exhibitions and related events across Vermont can be viewed at www.vermontartscalendar.org. Special thanks to our local supporters and sponsors of this project including: The STAART Gallery, St. Albans Messenger Print & Design, St. Albans Artists’ Guild, St. Albans Bishop Street Artists, The Franklin County Regional Chamber of Commerce, One Federal Restaurant & Lounge, Mimmo’s Restaurant, the
Cosmic Bakery and Café and VT2000 Site Design.

Action and Excitement!

bloppy A insets
In all the planning I’ve been involved in lately, I just realized that I’ve yet to post about the gallery’s really exciting news! Coming soon, the Art of Action project will be installed for a two-week exhibit at the gallery. The big Vermont Arts Council van will be rolling up to our doors on January 31st for the installation of the show and the exhibit will be open every day from February 1st through February 13th. Yes, every day! We were able to find enough volunteers to be open to the public extra days with our regular hours, 12-6pm. There will also be an opening reception on Friday, February 5th from 5 to 9 pm.

This is a really great show that both St. Albans and Staart are lucky to host. Only 20 Vermont towns were selected to host the traveling exhibit. Supported by generous grants from Lyman Orton, proprietor of the Vermont Country store, and Janice Izzi, each artist spent a year creating their respective body of work. You can find more information about the project and all the artists involved at the Art of Action link.
