FROM THE PRINT EDITION

Now in its 3rd year, the non-profit ArtShape Mammoth is connecting Vermont artists to the wider art community and vice versa through exhibitions, hands-on workshops, and artist representation. The programming is far-flung, including an ongoing project on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (Visitor Center Artist Camp), the Cross-Cultural Artist Exchange Program that resulted in an exhibition at 2015 Miami Art Week, and Traveling Experiential Workshops in Metal-Casting and Ceramics in Colorado and Rhode Island. Their Vermont roots run deep, too. In partnership with ONE Arts and the ONE Arts Center in Burlington’s Old North End, ArtShape Mammoth brings nationally-known artists to Burlington. The Artist Representation Program programs exhibitions, residencies, and visiting-artist opportunities nationwide, tailored for professional U.S. artists. There are 20 artists in the program, including some well-known Vermont artists, such as Leslie Fry, Alex Costantino, and Wendy Copp. In 2016, work by the artists in the program was shown in 16 exhibitions at galleries and colleges in nine states, as well as in Shanghai as part of the Cross-Cultural Artist Exchange Program.
