March into April !

Dear all,

I sit on the sunporch and watch the snow glow in the sun, this is what I love about March – it can be hot, but we have snow.  I should say finally.  Cancelling all the on ice and snow events for Great Ice 2023 was rough.  But for those who made it, the bonfire and fireworks were all the more special.

The Gallery has taken on providing a rotating installation of art works on the walls of Cathedral Square’s Bayview Crossing in South Hero.  The rotation to new pieces happens every several months.  So far we have shown work by Scott Brown, Maurie Harrington, the Feral Stitchers, and Jessica Scriver.  If you are interested, just send me an email.

Please note that while the works are for sale, access to seeing the art is through the building office as this is a secure residential building.

Other news: we are starting a meditation time in APRIL - on Tuesdays at 5pm, downstairs in the Video Temple. Hosted by Chico Martin, Majken Tranby, and Diane Gayer. All are welcome. Chico will do an intro for those who want 15 min beforehand. Free, but bring something to offer for the Food Shelf if you like.

GreenTARA Space is involved in a people-to-people exchange project to bring four Cuban photographers to Vermont, in June.  The recent trip to Havana confirmed how important exchanging cultural meaning is to a Vermont-Cuban aligned connection.  We have named the program: Cuban-American Friendship Exchange – CAFÉxchange.  The timing aligns with the Jazz Festival in Burlington - June 2023 - look for more on this once my computer is back up to functioning.

And further into the summer?  Look for pop-up art workshops – maybe Janet Fredericks with her Feral Stitchers?  Music - Mary McGinniss and The Selkies on Sunday August 20th?  It is all more fluid and flexible.

Meanwhile be well, stay safe, and enjoy the beauty that radiates in and around us…. as we channel it for the work that we must do. Diane
