‘Phased’ Art Exhibition Inspired by the 2024 Solar Eclipse! The moon pushes and pulls the tides, similar to how art moves us. We experience our own cycles through the orbital glow of the moon and the life giving energy of the sun. How do we feel when they dance together? In this curated exhibition, The Space Gallery invites you to experience celestial creations by seven local Vermont artists. All working in different mediums sharing a theme of the cosmos and the atmosphere we know.

Opening reception: First Friday April 5th 5-9pm. Please join us as we open the show with light refreshments, snacks and great conversation!

Show duration: Friday April 5th - Friday April 26th

* We will be open on Monday April 8th during the eclipse! We have a straight shot to the sun in our main entrance parking lot near the astronaut mural. We’ll have some protective eyewear on hand but it is advised to bring your own in case we run out. Enjoy the experience of a lifetime with us! Parking will be limited so if you live nearby consider walking!

Participating artists: Deana Allgaier - @deanaallgaier, Erin Bundock - @ebundock_arts, Jen Blount - @valleyroadart, Kristin Richland - @sweetenemyart, Mike Konrad - @mk________art, Nikki Laxar - @nikkilaxar, Susan Smereka - @smsmereka

Whether sent from the universe or embedded in our DNA, messages and events can suddenly arrive and change the course of our lives. Artist Christy Mitchell creates a solo show each November to decipher and express those moments from the previous year. In ‘Point of Impact’ she tackles the hard reality of caring for family members struggling with their mental health. View the S.P.A.C.E Gallery website here.

Inspired by the ever-changing natural rhythms outside the windows of her coastal Maine studio - the sea, the landscape, the sky - Christina Watka creates mixed media sculptures in mica and ceramic that encourage us all to 'listen to the light' just a bit more closely.

Charlie Hudson is an Australian-American artist that lives and works in New York City. Hudson works with shape, form, and color to render filtered views of his surroundings and habitat. Drawing primarily from life, snapshots, and memory, Hudson’s practice facilitates the metamorphosis of refracted landscapes and scenes into works exploring dimension, light, and movement. Hudson allows his practice to jump between 2d and 3d works depending on the series.
