Kate Gridley's Exhibition "Passing Through: Portraits of Emerging Adults" will officially open at Town Hall Theater's Jackson Gallery during Arts Walk on Friday, September 12, 5 - 7. After a year touring in other parts of Vermont, the exhibit has come home!

"Passing Through" features 17 over life sized oil portraits paired with audio portraits of seventeen young people who have all come through Middlebury for one reason or another. From Caleb, a ninth generation Vermonter who was born here, to Kamal, who came for ten summers with the Fresh Air Fund, to Esthena, valedictorian of her MUHS class, to Aubrey, who came to Middlebury College from Botswana, you will recognize some of these young people -- if not all of them! -- and you will enjoy hearing their stories. Ten of the paintings are housed in the Jackson Gallery; the seven remaining paintings are in the Lower Lobby of the Mahaney Center for the Arts at Middlebury College.

There will be a lot of community related events connected with this exhibit as Gridley partners with Middlebury college professors, teachers at MUHS, clinicians at CSAC and others. If you are interested in bringing your class to visit the show, contact Lindsay Pontius, Education Director at Town Hall Theater (education@townhalltheater.org).

The show is up through October 26, 2014.
