Open Studio Weekend VERMONT American flags will be the prominent theme on the roads of Vermont this week, but yellow signs won’t be far behind. One of the most long-running and popular events of the season, Vermont Open Studio Weekend, will be held Saturday, May 28 and Sunday, May 29 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., across the state. The event is a statewide celebration of the visual arts and the creative process in which Vermont artists and craftspeople invite the public to visit them. Open Studio Weekend represents a unique opportunity to meet a wide variety of artists and craftspeople in their studios, some of which are only open to the public during this weekend. Even though the event is across the state line, it is easily accessible from many parts of the region. There are 16 studios open in the greater Rutland area and 16 more in the Lakes Region west of Rutland. Open Studio Weekend features the work of glass blowers, jewelers, printmakers,

potters, furniture makers, weavers, ironworkers, painters, sculptors, quilt makers and wood carvers. Many galleries will host gallery talks and feature special exhibits in conjunction with this event. Visitors return to Open Studio year after year because the tour is different each year. Martha Fitch, executive director of the Vermont Crafts Council reports that the group of studio and gallery sites changes each year providing a continually “new” annual event. Fitch said “About 40 percent of the map changes each year as studios take a year off, and new studios join the tour. This accounts for about 80 new sites every year and allows for new geographic clusters to emerge.” The Vermont Crafts Council publishes a free map booklet with directions to participating sites. The Vermont Studio Tour Guide is available at Vermont Information Centers, from individual studios and galleries, and by request. The Vermont Crafts Council launched Open Studio Weekend 19 years ago to increase the visibility of artists and craftspeople in Vermont and to foster an appreciation for the creative process and the role that artists and craftspeople play in the vitality of Vermont’s communities. The Vermont Crafts Council is a non-profit organization serving the Vermont visual arts community. Open Studio Weekend is supported by the farmers who own Cabot Creamery, The Vermont Arts Council and the Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing. CLIP THIS AD
