Stop into the Bryan Gallery in Jeffersonville on Wednesday, April 16, from 5:00 – 6:30pm for an inaugural, spring “Sketch & Sip” event – something we hope will become a monthly series at the Gallery.

The vibe is low-key. Props, objects and tables will be available so that participants may set up their own unique still life. Whatever catches the eye of the participant can be used as a prompt – you can even sketch a friend or something in our gallery! Attendees are encouraged to bring their own drawing tools, beverages of choice, and even headphones, if chilling out with tunes inspires your work.

No critique, and no instruction – your imagination is all you need in a relaxed, creative environment in which to unwind with your favorite drawing tools and paper.

Sketch & Sip at the Bryan Gallery is open to everyone.
Suggested donation: $10.00

New York Times best selling auther Tobin Anderson considers the politices of beautiful scenery and hidden national longings behind our sense of landscape in this lecture/discussion. As the state prepares to review Act 250 and it's implications, Anderson poses several questions: What do we value about Landscape in the first place? Why are the inhospitable Green Mountains beautiful? And, what is actually attractive about a ruined barn? Anderson addresses attitudes toward landscape in general, traditional New England landscape painting and contemporary Vermont artists to discuss how different societies have found the sublime in their surroundings - and what that may mean for our future. A Q & A will follow the discussion.

Anderson's satirical science fiction novel, Landscape with Invisible Hand, has been made into a movie starring Tiffany Haddish and Asante Blackk.

This event is free and open to the public.
Registration is encouraged, HERE
