Art at the Kent has landed again, returning in 2021 with its perennial showcase of contemporary art at an historic crossroads. This year's exhibit, entitled 20/20 HINDSIGHT: Seeing the Past Anew with Contemporary Art, will take place indoors and out from September 10 to October 10.
Opening Celebration is this Saturday, Sept. 11, 3-5 pm. While numbers may be limited inside the building due to COVID-safety protocols (free tickets required for inside admission),* a festive array of things to see and do outside (no tickets required) will be available: new sculptures, historic photo booth, high wheeler bike demonstration, community memory project, tours of the renovated Robinson Sawmill, refreshments, Ben Aleshire's personalized poetry, music and more.
20/20 Hindsight puts a contemporary slant on methods and materials used to develop rural culture in late 19th-century Vermont. Featuring 20 creatives--sculptors, painters, and printers, plus smiths of light, yarn, wool, metal, basketry, digital and mixed media--in a group show celebrating new ways of seeing.
