Botanical Blitz
During the most brutally cold months of winter, the SPA gallery will turn into a botanical refuge with paintings and drawings, sculptural works and installations that depict the plant, insect and animal worlds -- flowers, fruits, vegetables, trees, soil, various pollinators, and maybe that rascal of a wood chuck who raided your garden.  Invited works may be realistically rendered or abstracted.   We are looking for your new work, in traditional and nontraditional media, to create a lavish display of color and an exhibit that celebrates the senses.
Exhibit Dates:  January 21 – March 7, 2020
Deadline for Submissions:  November 15, 2019
 

FUTURES - Studio Place Arts (SPA) is proud to participate in “Vermont’s “2020 Vision:  Seeing the World through Technology” as Vermont museums of art, history, and science, as well as galleries and other exhibiting institutions, will collaborate on a suite of exhibitions around the theme.  Here at SPA, we want to celebrate the role artists play in envisioning the future.  This show invites artists to share works of science fiction, in traditional and non-traditional media (proposals for installations are welcome).

Cranbrook Connections
The Cranbrook Academy of Art located in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, is known as one of the preeminent centers of education in fine art, crafts, design, and architecture since the early 1930s.   SPA will be honoring the late Marc Awodey, local artist and art critic, who attended Cranbrook, by organizing an exhibit in 2020 of work by those in our area who also attended Cranbrook.
