What an amazing reception for Jessica Scriver and Mary Admasian! Fab artists in a fab setting with overflowing energy and hand-crafted Kraemer & Kin brews. Also first tastings from Ellison Estate Vineyard in Grand Isle, VT. Thanks to Caroline Bates for the super photos of the art and gallery. And major thanks to all our friends who came and appreciated… You are the best.
TRANSMIGRATION : This passage is a condition of change and evolution that we’ve collectively tried to stabilize and control through our engineered constructions and our neo-colonialist/post-industrial economic ways and which works against the natural conditions of movement and migration through cells, populations, and soul. Still, our markings and geographies migrate through life at the cellular, geographic, and spiritual levels of our own becoming.
GreenTARA Gallery is happy to announce this second of the 2021 art shows with Vermont Artists: Jessica Scriver - A New Geography and Mary Admasian - Marked.
The Gallery theme of Transition, Transmigration, Transmission, and Transcendence will permeate the four curated art shows of the year.
Transmigration runs Friday July 9, 2021 thru Sunday August 29, 2021. Gallery is OPEN Fri, Sat, Sun 12noon - 6pm during Kraemer & Kin’s hours of operation.
Please join us for an Art Reception in July.... Date to be announced!
John LaFalce of the original “peacepaperproject” and “greendoorstudio” off of Pine Street and who now lives and works in Saranac Lake…. took the day off to come back to Burlington and workshop with youth and their mentors at King Street. The student-made paper sheets that include ginger and onion skin fibers are still drying, but soon to become art! Friends of GreenTARA was happy to work with Spectrum and helped sponsor this workshop.
Thanks to many — from the beautiful sugarledge stone terrace by Aaron and John of Champlain Landworks to the Amish-made “poly-wood” chairs bought locally and now onsite thanks to Sally’s truck — we now have this outdoor terrace as part of the Gallery and Brewery. It is dedicated to Louise, who passed away in January when we were first plotting to build out this remnant corner of the property.
As we turn the wheel of becoming, beauty arises. We are more than robots and automatons, more than prescribed reactions to the system of things, we are human…. and as such we enjoy life and spirit above all. As many of you know, the GreenTARA Space is located on a postage stampe of land, so this new back terrace brings additional external access to the Gallery, accommodates expanding Kraemer & Kin’s service needs, and addresses the lake and field views that define North Hero. “Louise’s Patio” It is dedicated to a longtime family friend. Join us Saturday June 26, 2021 for our Artists Celebration and Ribbon Cutting - 12 to 2pm.
Juneteenth celebrations in Denver have a long-standing history, dating back to around 1968. Juneteenth Music Festival executive director Norman Harris explained the history of Juneteenth in Denver as being a product of a large migration of people from Texas to Colorado. Five Points has been the center of celebration for many years, but now it is moving out into the whole city.
“Juneteenth has always been a piece of trying to establish justice, and we’ve seen so many folks galvanize from all different walks of life, all different colors — probably one of the most beautiful things that the world has seen in these last couple of weeks,” he said. “That’s been born out of a lot of tragedy, a lot of pain that us African American people have experienced, but what the Juneteenth celebration is, is it’s an example of how we have transformed our tragedy into triumph.”

Transition: Turning the Wheel, the Art of Becoming.
We are at a time of transition, we are turning the wheel, but from what and to where? We are at a time of transition from the blinders of history, the horse blinders that close out the broader view allowing in only the pre-selected perspective. How can we turn the wheel of existence to meet a fuller future? How can we handle the lever to transform the world defined by pain, abuse, hate, and loneliness?
Transition is like the grey matter between black and white, the zone that is more complex than one thing or the other…. And when it comes to the shift between winter and summer, spring, it looks more like an effusion of colour. We also think of transition as threshold, but perhaps it is a bigger, broader place between one existence and another, a condition of impermanence.
