SUMMARY:118 Elliot Group Exhibition “WORKING THEORY” June 4 - 29\, 2026 Curated by G. Robertson with Elizabeth Budington\, Gayle Robertson\, Leonard Ragouzeos
DESCRIPTION:118 Elliot Group Exhibition\nCurated by G. Robertson\n“WORKING THEORY”\n118 Elliot June 4 – 29\, 2026\nElizabeth Budington\, Gayle Robertson\, Leonard Ragouzeos\n When we look at a single painting\, we see it in isolation. A painting is a moment in a succession of decisions; a pause in the flow of creativity; a marker of thought\, idea and sometimes emotion.  \nIn this show we look at the flow hoping to catch the thread that came through works before – it surfaced here in this piece and then carries on. The works in this show offer insight into the artists’ Working Theory of how they have wandered\, allowing the viewer a sightline into their creative process. The work they show represents an individual journey\, fascinating to observe. \nThe exhibiting artists will host an Opening event on Friday June 5th from 6:30-8:30pm. The show will be open during gallery hours on Thursdays from 3 to 6 pm as well as during all 118 events\, and by appointment. One or more of the artists will be present each Thursday. On Sunday June 14th at 11am the artists will host a group discussion. Refreshments will be served. \nPlease stop by 118 Elliot for the Opening event\, for the Conversation\, or on a Thursday in June to view Working Theory and participate in musings about the process of creation!  \nGayle Robertson

SUMMARY:I Lift My Light: Envisioning America  Free Community Puppet Workshops and Group Show at 118 Elliot Respond to America 250 Milestone
DESCRIPTION:  \nBrattleboro\, VT\, June 4\, 2026:  As Brattleboro commemorates America’s 250th birthday\, 118 Elliot presents “I Lift My Light”\, a month full of events including a gallery show and puppet building along with other artistic activities. The events also include a community puppet building and march at the ‘Gallery Walk\,’ on July 3 celebrating people’s visions of hope for America\, symbolized by the Statue of Liberty.  \nAs part of ‘I Lift My Light’\, 118 Elliot is working with other community groups and Bread & Puppet Theater Alum Uriel Najera to lead ​free puppet-making workshops for adults and children at 118 Elliot to build a giant Statue of Liberty puppet and other puppetry performance elements that will be presented as part of the ‘Brattleboro Goes Fourth’ July 4th parade.  \nThrough these community workshops\, participants will get a chance to learn about puppet construction and using puppetry for civic expression. All workshops are free with materials provided. To register\, participants can write to 118Elliot@gmail.com or call (917) 239-8743. \nThe first workshop is scheduled for Saturday\, June 20 from 10am to 12 pm (and possibly longer). The day will begin with building the large puppet and planning for the parade performance and other puppetry elements such as wings and lamps\, all within the framework of what the Statue of Liberty means for us. The title of these events is taken from Emma Lazarus’ poem ‘The New Colossus’\, inspired by the Statue and exhibited within its pedestal\, whose last line reads: “I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” \nUriel Najera\, Bread & Puppet Theater Alum \nOn Friday\, July 3\,  from 2–4 pm\, Uriel will also lead a ​Kids Workshop (5-12 years)\, in 118​ Elliot’s back lot​. Participants will get to make wearable wings from different birds that migrate across the world. Later that day\, during Brattleboro’s July Gallery Walk event\, the public is invited to join Uriel and other volunteers to help complete the Statue of Liberty puppet in the ​lot behind 118 Elliot from 5pm to 7pm. The completed Lady Liberty puppet may also ‘march’ to the Harmony Parking Lot towards the end of Gallery Walk to make her public debut. \n​On Saturday\, July 4\, The Statue and​ supporting puppets ​made the previous evening will ​participate in ​the Brattleboro Goes Fourth parade ​which will take place at 10am. The parade steps off from the corner of Flat Street\, proceeds up Main Street\, and concludes at the town Common​.  \nOpening July 3\, In addition to the puppet-building workshops\,118 Elliot is also hosting a group art show\, which will include artist Liza Cassidy’s “The Mending Wall” that invites visitors to sew patches of fabric onto others’ pieces with hopeful thoughts about the future of the American experiment.  \nOther ‘I Lift My Light’ activities focused on the significance of the Statue in commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence will occur at the gallery throughout the month of July. \nBrattleboro’s special connection with Lady Liberty \nBrattleboro-based architect Richard Morris Hunt designed the Statue of Liberty’s pedestal on commission from the American Committee for the Statue of Liberty. ​From 1882 to 1884\, Hunt worked with Frederic Bartholdi\, the French sculptor and designer\, who designed the Statue of Liberty. Hunt’s family home was at the current site of Pliny Park in Historic Downtown Brattleboro\, one reason the town logo for America 250 events includes the Statue’s image. \nYoung Richard Morris Hunt\, in a painting by Thomas Couture \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \ntown logo for America 250 events \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nThe puppet workshops are the culminating effort of a multi-year collaboration of the Windham World Affairs Council\, Brooks Memorial Library\, VIM/The Commons\, with support from the Vermont Humanities Council\, as well as 118 Elliot and the Downtown Brattleboro Alliance.   \nXXX
