The Amy E. Tarrant Gallery opened “Flourish,” an exhibit showcasing work by artists with disabilities, on April 7. The exhibit will remain on view through June 30. The gallery is open to the public Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., or Flynn theater performance attendees may view the work prior to most MainStage shows and during intermission.
Five years ago, the Flynn exhibited VSA Vermont’s “Engage,” a juried show that introduced the work of 35 visual artists with disabilities. “Flourish” continues this work in partnership once again with VSA Vermont as well as Vermont Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired. A statewide call garnered 46 submissions and 31 works in acrylic, oil, and watercolor; drawings in ink, pastel, crayon, and charcoal; photographs, ceramics, weaving, as well as mixed-media sculpture and assemblages were chosen by both new and established artists.
Artists include: Marguerite Adelman, Willow Bascom, Larry Bissonnette, Lindsay Bluto, Makayla Cota, Gwendolyn Evans, Dan Fisher, Robert Alan Gold, Katrina Hagen, Jef Hill, Annie Jackson, Todd Julius, Anna King, Alexis Kyriak, Carol Langstaff, Michael Leavitt, Karen J. Lloyd, Winnie Looby, Lennon Manson, Justin McQuiston, Michelle Monroe, Lissa Nilsson, James Primm, Sasha Maglen Ross Becker, Eva Seyller, Kaelyn Shannon, Jonah P. Sprout, Melody Squires, Kathy Velon, Pamela Wagner and Gail Wheeler.
