Ian Babylon is the MC for this multi-media dance experience where you are liberated to feel and move as called within a circle of art, hemmed by gauzy, lifted veils.
Join us for a mirthful and reverent magickal space between the worlds where light & sound play together in a projection-based participatory celebration of music and dancing among your beloveds both Earthly and Beyond; a pagan(ish)-adjacent Dumb Supper at Studio 54; mixing songs sombre, sacred, joyous; forever + always: animating. Rump-bumping at your discretion.
Dress as your favorite ancestor!

Lifting the Veil is an exhibition featuring work by an invited group of artists, with the overarching theme of the connection - through art, memory, and artifacts - of the living with those who have "crossed the veil," into whatever the next state may be. Related events will include a closing celebration, with performances connecting to a variety of cultural traditions, beliefs, and values about honoring our ancestors, as well as nurturing and healing the living.
The intent is to create a space, through the art installation and event, which is positive, comforting, and caring in exploring the ways we interpret the veil between the world of the living and the world of the lived, and to share in the healing process.
Artists and community members will be invited to share memories of ancestors and family legacies through photos, writings, or objects, as part of the installation and join in a culminating celebratory event.
This exhibition has been curated by Anne Cummings, Vermont artist and art educator, along with the Across Roads Center for the Arts Board of Directors, and is sponsored by the Grange Hall Cultural Center.
