Meet Artists residing in South Burlington. And view a photo tour of Davis Studio.
South Burlington not only has art and artists in residence, but the city also has a new art studio, Davis Studio, located on Shelburne Road. SB artists met on June 9 at the studio for a potluck and discussion on potential SB art exhibit locations including innovative and alternative spaces. The event was hosted by director and founder Teresa Davis, and Studio Manager Lydia Littwin.

Potential art display locations discussed included:
Healthy Living, Barnes & Nobles, SB library, BTV airport, SB Farmers Market, Univ. Mall, Wheeler House, SB City Hall, Burton, Magic Hat, coffee, and bagel shops. Also, outdoor venues such as art on crosswalks, outdoor art help define South Burlington.
The group discussed the need for an individual (an SB artist group curator) from the group to manage scheduling / coordinating with businesses and the artist for art displays. Another concern is ensuring the location environment is safe for the art being displayed.
A name for the SB artists group remained elusive so the group decided to let it peculate for a bit and perhaps decide on a name at the next meeting.

Bernie publishes essays and photos reflecting Vermont's values of Green and Clean and Community.
A community has incomplete metamorphosis until it is fed and truly recognized for its changing form. Community building is best had with many hands at the table striving for the same goal albeit in each their own way. ~Bernie
