SUMMARY:Brattleboro Words Trail: Murals\, Maps and Sound
DESCRIPTION:May 2021 through August 2023\nLocal artist Cynthia Parker-Houghton was commissioned to create a map representing\, and inviting exploration of the Brattleboro Words Trail\, community-created audio pegged to places and people significant in the region’s unique history of writing\, publishing\, printing\, thought leadership and all things ‘words’ (see history below). \nChoosing the imagery for this project was challenging because of the large and diverse scope of the research involved. The landscape itself with its mountains and rivers became the uniting feature for the more than 100 audio stories currently pegged to the Trail\, and more stories are still being discovered and created. People who’d like to tell a story can contact: brattleborowords@gmail.com \nThe murals are updated with ceramic buttons imprinted with the initials of the characters each time a community-created story is completed. The murals were created in order to print the companion maps that visitors can pick-up at the exhibit. \nViewers can use the maps and murals in conjunction with the stand-along Brattleboro Words Trail app and website\, which allow you to listen to stories associated with more than 80 sites in and around Brattleboro – with 50 sites within walking distance of 118. \nThe imagery for the map was created using Sgraffito\, a ceramic carving technique which creates a look similar to wood block or linoleum printing. In sgraffito a layer of dark slip is carved through to reveal lighter clay underneath. Cynthia honed her skills with this technique as Lead Designer at Natalie Blake Studios where she has created murals for public and private installations throughout the United States for more than a decade. \nOur Storied Landscape: Brattleboro Words Trail Sites and Sounds debuted at the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center October 2020 – February 2021 as “Our Storied Landscape: Revealing the Brattleboro Words Trail” \nNext Stop: Amtrak!\nThe murals will move to the exterior\, platform-facing wall of the new Brattleboro Amtrak station as part of a permanent Brattleboro Words Trail exhibition. The unveiling will occur with the opening of the station in Fall of 2024. \nBrattleboro Words Project Background\nThe Project began in 2017 when a group assembled at 118 Elliot to discuss what the town could do to apply for a new National Endowment for the Humanities “Creating Humanities Communities” matching grant. \nFive local groups took the lead: Brattleboro Literary Festival\, the Brattleboro Historical Society\, Brooks Memorial Library\, Write Action and Marlboro College (which closed in 2020). The original NEH proposal\, written by William Edelglass PhD and Lissa Weinmann\, secured the four-year 1:1 NEH matching grant for the work. \nThat initial phase of the Project was successfully completed in January 2021 when the Trail and a companion book were released to the public. The book\, entitled “Print Town: Brattleboro’s Legacy of Words’ won a national design award in 2022. The Trail itself has also won regional and national awards\, including an ‘Award of Excellence’ from the American Association for State and Local History. \nThe Words Project mounted exhibits at 118 Elliot\, Brooks Memorial Library\, Brattleboro Museum and Art Center and in MILES\, a ‘Mobile Interactive Literary Exhibition Space’ parked in 118 Elliot’s back lot. MILES hosted the Brattleboro Words Project’s first exhibit “Lucy Speaks” about Lucy Terry Prince\, the nation’s first known African American poet and a Brattleboro-area resident\, as a pop-up on Main Street during the 2017 Brattleboro Literary Festival. \n118 Elliot’s In-Kind Brattleboro Words Project Support\n118 Elliot donated the MILES trailer to the Brattleboro Words Project for that and other exhibitions and has provided office\, exhibition and meeting/event space to the Project since its inception in 2017\, free of charge. 118 Partner Lissa Weinmann continues to lead the Project with an Advisory Team at the Vermont Folklife Center including Shanta Lee\, Starr LaTronica\, Sally Seymour\, Rolf Parker-Houghton and William Edelglass\, Phd through a fiscal sponsorship project at the Vermont Folklife Center. \nSee more details at BrattleboroWords.org.

SUMMARY:Abstract Expressionism in The Age of Climate Change: Artists Mary Therese Wright\, Ellen Cone Maddrey\, Tina Olsen\, John Loggia discuss the exhibition 'Becoming The Landscape'
DESCRIPTION:on exhibit during September\, 2023\n			 \n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				Mary Wright\, Untitled (Walker)\, oil and pastel on paper\, 30″x40″\n			 \n			 \n				\n				\n			 \n				\n				\n			 \n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				November 17 2023\, Brattleboro\, VT: 118 Elliot will host an artist’s talk and reception on Saturday\, November 25\, from 3 to 5 pm. The artists\, Mary Therese Wright\, Tina Olsen\, Ellen Maddrey\, and John Loggia\, will discuss the works in their current exhibition\, “Becoming the Landscape\,” inviting questions and reflections from the audience. Refreshments will be provided.  \nThis is the first collaboration of these local artists whose works are deeply intuitive and reflect the natural world through personal expression. Through this first collaboration these artists have discovered their shared process and the communication between their paintings.  \n These works reflect the larger art movement towards landscape painting and emotional expressionism. The artists share a reverence for nature as a refuge but recognize the anxiety that accompanies climate change and the significant transformation it causes and will continue to cause. Since Irene\, their art has evolved to reflect this tension; we turn to nature as an asylum and at the same time are confronted with its erratic and diminishing elements. Yet nature continues to show resilience\, and as we strengthen our relationship with the environment\, we can enhance our own ability to face climate change. \n The discussion will encourage participation from the attendees concerning our emotional and physical connection to the mountains\, trees\, water and stones of our earth\, the anxiety surrounding climate change\, and the way that this tension can be expressed with color\, shape\, and texture. The relationship between the works will be explored\, as well as the individual artists’ processes and inspirations. \n Mary Therese Wright’s artwork and community-based projects have been shown throughout the United States since 1989. A lifelong artist\, Wright founded Gallery Wright\, a brick-and-mortar retail exhibition and teaching space\, co-founded Campicaso@\, a traveling artist-run educational organization and has led workshops  for over 30 years. Wright has a keen interest in materiality whether painting\, printmaking\, or metalsmithing. Her current work is a response to the vibrant colors and dynamic shapes of nature. She lives in Jacksonville\, VT. She states: \n I have spent more time in conversation with Lake Whitingham and its trails than I have with most people I know. My paintings are a reflection\, a portrait of sorts\, of that relationship.  \n Ellen Cone Maddrey came to painting later in life\, after careers as a lawyer and elementary school teacher\, but her inspiration is embedded in the mountains and seas of her childhood home\, Seattle. She allows the emotions and colors that arise as she treks the trails and swims in the waters of Vermont to guide her hands as paint connects with canvas. Maddrey states\, “Through my painting\, I continue to learn about myself as part of the brilliant life that surrounds us.” She and her husband\, Wendell split their time between Montclair\, NJ and Wilmington\, VT. \nTina Olsen\, a lifelong artist and poet\, has been a creative arts therapist\, taught art at The Walden School\, and exhibited her work both in New York and Vermont. She lives in Brattleboro\, Vermont with her partner Schuyler Gould. Tina has a deep emotional connection with her work\, referring to it as therapeutic creative expression. She works in both watercolor and oils\, and her work reflects her interest in the line between abstraction and reality. She refers to her painting  in this poem excerpt: \nI paint as if it were a Holy thing.  \nI surrender to it and  \nbecome a Holy thing. . . .  \nAnd the marks I makeare the footprints of that Holy Thing. . . .  \n John Loggia has been painting and working in the arts since 1979\, when he worked as an artist’s assistant to Dan Flavin and other major minimalist artists. He maintained a practice of drawing and painting while working in film as a production designer and producer\, most recently on the documentary Fire Music\, released in 2021. \nFrom 1984 to 2000\, Loggia ran a multipurpose art and music space in Williamsburg\, Brooklyn. In 2015\, John opened 118 Elliot\, an arts and education center in Brattleboro that he still runs with his partner. Loggia is also a musician who has played with jazz greats including Daniel Carter\, Jeff Lederer\, Blaise Siwula and Bonnie Kane\, among others. \nII8 Elliot  is a collaborative environment for the creative arts and education. Programming includes film showings\, gallery exhibitions\, musical performances and conferences as well as physical culture classes. 118 Elliot also provides a modern\, fully accessible space in the heart of historic downtown Brattleboro for community use at affordable rates. It is home to the National Endowment for the Humanities-supported Brattleboro Words Project and has its interactive Brattleboro Words Trail landscape mural maps and community audio stories as a permanent exhibit until the murals move to the new Brattleboro Amtrak station opening late 2024. \n118 Elliot\, 118 Elliot Street\, Brattleboro VT 05301 118elliot.com \n
