\u201cWhen hurricane Irene struck it not only devastated the Valley, it nearly caused the cessation of Valley Arts by wiping out the end of the Vermont Festival of the Arts \u2013 our only event at that time,\u201d wrote Valley Arts Board President Gary Eckhart. \u201cShortly after Irene, the board of directors decided to diversify the operation of Valley Arts to give more stability to the organization.\u201d<\/p>\n

The fruit of that labor is visible in the dynamic arts programming being offered throughout the Mad River Valley. In addition to exhibitions at Valley Arts Festival Gallery and Bridges Resort, hosting painting classes and other events, the organization is highlighting art groups like the Camera Club and Green Mountain Rug Hooking Guild. The result is an aggregated arts calendar for the Mad River Valley.<\/p>\n

The annual Vermont Festival of the Arts remains at the heart of all this activity. The festival turns twenty in 2017. The Call to Artists for the Green Mountain Watercolor Exhibition at The Big Red Barn at Lareau Farm is now available on their website HERE<\/a>. Other key activities in the works for Festival include an en plein air painting weekend in August and a \u201cMulti-Media-Mania\u201d exhibit. Learn more at www.valleyartsvt.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Valley Arts also has a gallery, the Valley Arts Festival Gallery, at Village Square in Waitsfield. Read more about the current show:<\/p>\n
