LIFTING THE VEIL

FEATURING:

Ian Babylon, J. Bennet, Cythia Cagle, Anne Cummings,

EveNSteve (Eve O. & Stephen Schaub, and Sarah Vogelsang-Card

This exhibition features work by an invited group of artists with the overarching theme of the connection – through art, memory, and artifacts – of the living with those who have “crossed the veil,” into whatever the next state may be. Related events will include a closing celebration, with performances connecting to a variety of cultural traditions, beliefs, and values about honoring our ancestors, as well as nurturing and healing the living. 

The intent is to create a space, through the art installation and event, which is positive, comforting, and caring in exploring the ways we interpret the veil between the world of the living and the world of the lived, and to share in the healing process. Artists will be presenting workshops and performances, and community members will be invited to share memories of ancestors and family legacies through photos, writings, or objects, as part of the installation and join in a culminating celebratory event.  This exhibition has been curated by Anne Cummings, Vermont artist and art educator, along with the Across Roads Center for the Arts Board of Directors, and is sponsored by the Grange Hall Cultural Center.
