BELLOWS FALLS, Vt. — The potluck Artists town meeting for June will be held on Tuesday, June 11, 6-8 p.m., 33 Bridge Street (home to WoolFM and several artists’ studios), Bellows Falls Vermont. Artists, artisans and local food growers are all encouraged to attend.
The focus of the quarterly meetings is to bring creative people together in order to share ideas and a meal. “The more we know each other and can identify ourselves as a constituency the more strength and credibility we gain.” McBride explains.” There is an ever-growing community of working artists and local growers in our midst, all of whom are contributing greatly to the cultural and economic vitality of our communities. One of RAMP’s many roles is to be an advocate for these artists. In order to be effective in that role, RAMP creates and participates in opportunities to hear from local artists and assist them in making community connections that benefit us all.”
The meeting agenda will include: artist project updates, a debriefing of: VT State Craft Tour Open Studio Weekend, which was held over Memorial Day weekend, discussion of public art and current mural projects, BF3F, Bellows Falls Third Friday Gallery Walk, Stage 33 and start planning for the 2020 VT State Craft Open Studio Tour in October.
