“The Art Among Us,” an exhibit featuring the work of members of the Waitsfield United Church of Christ will be open to public at the Waitsfield United Church of Christ Village Meeting House on Saturday, October 14, and Sunday, October 15. The show consists of the work of 27 members of the congregation exhibiting their own creative process. The show will be open between noon to 4 p.m. each day.
Fifty-five works of art created by 27 people are on display. Artwork includes photography, painting in a variety of mediums, drawing, pottery, woven sculpture, handcrafted wooden items, quilts, rug hooking and the written word. Each piece tells a story of the person who created it; a person, who may not call themselves ‘artist’ but can be considered such by virtue of the work they have made. The members of the congregation who painted, photographed, hooked, stitched, drewm or crafted, created pieces of beauty for themselves, and now to share.
The Waitsfield United Church of Christ Village Meeting House has presented different art exhibits for many years. “We are incredibly excited to share our work to the community,” said Karen Nevin, co-chair of the art team. “Each year the arts committee thoughtfully puts together a show that we believe will captivate and resonate with the community.”
“The Art Among Us” will only be open for two days: Saturday, October 14, and Sunday, October 15, from noon to 4 p.m. Admission is free. The Waitsfield United Church of Christ Village Meeting House is located at 4355 Main Street, Route 100, Waitsfield. For more information, call 802-496-3065.
