Bryan Memorial Gallery has been invited by the Lamoille County Courthouse to install artwork in its stately corridors in one of the final phases of the recent Courthouse renovation.  This current exhibit of Vermont Landscapes at the Lamoille County Courthouse features 38 paintings by 20 artists who paint in Vermont.

The Stowe Reporter recently published an article about the Courthouse Gallery here.   

The installation was curated by Bryan Gallery Executive Director Mickey Myers and Gallery Manager Tom Waters, and can be seen Monday – Friday, 8 AM – 4:30 PM (Closed 12 – 12:30 PM,) by visiting the Courthouse at 154 Main Street, Hyde Park, Vermont (fully handicap accessible.)  

Russian Artists and Friends Held-Over! Showing in May and June in the middle gallery.

Jeffersonville, Vermont welcomed a group of Russian plein air artists for two weeks in March (9 – 23.) The Russian artists were joined by dozens of American painters, painting en plein air throughout the two weeks of their visit in the US.

Many of these painters know each other, as the visit is privately organized, part of an exchange that has taken place over the past few years, of Russians coming to iconic New England locations to paint, and Americans going to paint with them each of the last few alternate years.  This is the first time that Vermont has been their destination, and appropriately Jeffersonville has been selected, as it has been a mecca for plein air artists for over 100 years.

Their stay culminated in a one day installation of their paintings at Bryan Memorial Gallery. While they have all left for home, wwe are pleased to have held on to 20 paintings by our new Russian friends, and a selection of paintings by the other artists who joined them. These will be displayed in May and June in the middle room and legacy galleries in May and June.

Listen to Mickey Meyers describe the wonderful exhibit Chagall in Montreal at the Musee des Beaux Arts . Her reflections on the artist and the recent trip with the Bryan Memorial Gallery shed light on both the exhibit and the artist.

Marc Chagall’s career spanned almost 100 years and 3 continents. Considered the quintessential Jewish artist of the 20th century, Chagall was a master colorist, dreamer and story teller. And for a few more days – through June 11 – three hundred and forty of his works can be seen at the Musee des Beaux Arts in Montreal.
