Thank you!

All of your favorite events have returned, including the Great Vermont Plein Air Paint-Out, the Big Red Barn Art Show, and the Photo Show in the Round Barn.

Last year, we added the Iron Chef to the Taste of the Valley, our premier event at Sugarbush Resort. Will Adam Longworth of the Common Man successfully defend his title? Music offerings have expanded, with a concert & dance to benefit WMRW radio, an opera concert hosted by the Valley Opera Lovers, plus the Vermont Music Fest is back under new directors.

Kids of all ages will have no reason to say they’re bored. Ever. With abundant craft activities, watercolor painting at the Paint-Out, the return of StoryWalk®, Clay Play, pizza making at the Warren Store, special screenings at the Big Picture, plus family events like the Festival Frolic at Lareau Farm and the Barns & Bridges Tour, they will stay busy.

Art is everywhere in the Mad River Valley, and we hope you will plan to spend a few days here to enjoy it. More than 100 fun-filled and enlightening events are described in this Program to help you plan your artistic adventures! If you have any questions, please call us at the Festival Gallery, 802-496-6682, or visit our website, www.vermontartfest.com.

We at the Valley Arts Foundation – the organization behind the Festival - are grateful for everyone who makes the Festival happen and for the support of our corporate partners, sponsors, advertisers, members and volunteers. Whether through a financial donation, a gift of time or sharing of talent, the Vermont Festival of the Arts is made possible by hundreds of people celebrating the Arts in our creative community.

See you at the Festival!

In Memoriam, James Plumpton 1936-2015

In Praise of James Plumpton…

James (never Jim) was tireless in pursuit of excellence. It was obvious that he loved the Valley and wanted to bring out the best we had to offer. Economic strength, he felt, was the foundation of a vibrant community. Enhancing tourism offerings by creating events that would bring people here for extended stays was James’ plan. He felt that by involving the multi-talented Valley residents in a series of summer events, visitors would be enticed to come and stay. The first event was to be a collaborative effort among seven local community groups under the direction of a newly developed Mad River Valley Arts Committee. The Vermont Festival of the Arts was born from that effort, with the first Festival held from Friday, August 8th to Sunday, August 23, 1998. It featured art exhibitions, music, theater, workshops and more. James’ creativity, tenaciousness and business sense made a huge difference in the promotion of the arts in the Valley. He would be pleased to see how his efforts, so long ago, have blossomed into the phenomenon that the Festival has become - kudos, James! ~ Dotty Kyle

Valley Arts Foundation Mission Statement The Valley Arts Foundation supports the multiple interests of the Mad River Valley, Vermont by encouraging and promoting participation in the Arts.

Joan E. Lane is an accomplished painter and print maker who divides her time between New York City and the Mad River Valley. Her piece Lone Heron is featured on our collectible poster this year. In describing her work, she writes:

Thank you to everyone in the community who has organized and planned an event for the Festival. This Festival does not exist without your energy and creative spirit!

I try to work in synchrony with the natural world around us and attempt to capture the harmony that I see in nature. By using water based mediums, I hope to distill these feelings into my art work.

Thank you to Dotty Kyle and to Linda Barnes for their proofreading expertise!

Special thanks to Linda Barnes, our Volunteer Coordinator. Thank you to all of our volunteers - without your smiling faces and hard work, we would not have a such a fantastic Festival!

Making Sacred Connections

The Art of Kathleen McGuffin & Karla Van Vliet

Making Sacred Connections The Art of Kathleen McGuffin and Karla Van Vliet

Opens Saturday, August 1, Noon–5 pm Thursdays–Sundays, Aug 1–Sept 6, Noon–5 pm (Closed August 28 and September 4) Artist Talk & Opening Reception, Aug 1, 3:30–4:30 pm The Waitsfield United Church of Christ is pleased to present the work of two Vermont artists: Kathleen McGuffin of Burlington and Karla Van Vliet of Bristol.

Kathleen is a painter of visual parable. Her realistically rendered oil paintings invite viewers to pause and listen - with their eyes - to stories of divinely possible impossibilities. Karla is a painter and student of the dream who seeks to create meaning and open places of feeling. Creating and content arise from the feeling, knowing self, the place of the heart and soul where one connects with God.

Art Therapy Association of Vermont

Member Art Show & Community Mandala Installation August 1–September 17 Community Mandala Installation: Sunday, August 9, 10–2 pm

Art heals by accepting the pain and doing something with it. –Shaun McNiff Art therapists attend to mental wellbeing through the transformative act of creative involvement. To aide aesthetic contemplation in others, art therapists maintain the practice of their own creative renewal.

Art therapists from across Vermont exhibit their personal art expressions, responses to the client/ therapist relationship and inner explorations for personal insight and healing.

Community Mandala Installation: Members of the community are invited to contribute their personal creative expressions, memories, dreams, and wishes to a collaborative art piece to be held by the spirit of the collective within the healing form of a mandala.

Utilizing found objects and provided art materials, each contributor can add an individual voice to the image as a whole.

It’s logical to say that what I do is an act of faith. It came to me and I worked it out. –Walker Evans The Big Picture Theater 48 Carroll Road, Waitsfield Beth Kendrick: 802-496-4347 • eyepaint@wcvt.com

How Art Builds Community Art builds community by transcending the barriers that often separate us. It dissolves the divisions that few other things can—culture, language, age, socio-economics, profession, race, gender, ethnicity, sexual identity and educational level.

Art bonds a community by bringing people together in a shared experience. It provides a cultural connection for otherwise unconnected community members. The community gains a sense of place through art, bringing people to the community and its many venues. Artists express themselves and communicate who they are. It gives community members a sense of belonging and shared values. Art depicts a community’s identity and spirit.

 Events & Accommodations

Forging bonds when people participate in creating or enjoying art allows those who don’t feel as if they “belong” or are “different” to feel like a welcomed part of their community.



Beautiful outdoor & barn weddings



Comfortable, home-like accommodations



Uniquely casual and fun country style

The arts also stimulate the economy. It can transform vacant spaces, bring residents and visitors to businesses displaying art and give artists income opportunities to reinvest in the community.

As a policy maker, art connects me to my community as a whole. It diverts me from my world of “for and against” and “winners and losers”. Art is a neutralizer. I am grateful for the arts in our community, as it builds sustainable relationships, individual and community pride, the economy, belonging and sense of self that little else can.

Summer Festival at Knoll Farm Saturday, August 1, 10 am–3:30 pm

Artists and the arts stimulate our imagination, animate our lives, and provide a richer quality of life for all.

The arts within our community create joy as well as a give us a context for the emotions that impact our lives. The creation of art, or the experience of others’ art, helps people process emotions such as grief, confusion, anger, isolation and fear.

Barns & Bridges

of the Mad River Valley Tour

Sunday, August 23 Begins at 9 am and continues through the day

For many, the classic Vermont postcard holds images of barns on the hillside or covered bridges above rushing streams. The Mad River Valley has a good collection of both! Take this self-guided tour with information at each site. Bring your camera as there will be “instructions” at each location to take the very best picture. Some of the sites are working farms where you will meet the farmer and the livestock.

Pick up your map on Saturday, August 22, at the Waitsfield Farmers Market or on Sunday, August 23 at the Festival Gallery. Maps will also be available to download at www.vermontartfest.com beginning on August 22.

Wednesday, August 12, Yestermorrow, 7–8:30 pm

Come enjoy an evening of slides by the Mad River Valley’s talented and creative community of architects, builders, landscape designers, woodworkers, cabinet and furniture makers, engineers, sauna builders, timber framers, stained glass window artists, and allied artisans. Each presenter will show twenty images in 6 minutes and 40 seconds.
