New Orleans Specials 2.22.10 - 2.28.10

We will be running New Orleans themed specials all week

A $2 donation will be made to the

New Orleans Rebirth Volunteer Program with every special sold.

 

The New Orleans Rebirth Volunteer Program:

Allows volunteers to stand in solidarity with the people of the Gulf Coast for a just and equitable recovery.  The volunteer program grew out of hurricane relief and social justice project created  to respond to the great need of the region in the immediate aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.  Working with community partners, the program connects volunteers with opportunities to address the needs of those affected by Katrina in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast Region.  There are several key components of the program designed to help volunteers understand the context in which they are working, to process their experience, and to be effective witnesses to the need for continued assistance and recovery.  Most groups are housed in the 50 bed Volunteer Center on the second floor of the First Unitarian Universalist Church of New Orleans.  Vermonters have been and will continue to be active participants in this worthy program.

January Art

"A collection of paintings" 

tribalien. biorganic. spirit. graffiti

Originally from Upstate New York Adam Heckle brings his modern psychedelic art to Burlingtons Daily Planet . His works allow us to see that there are no boundaries to making art with his abrasive intentions and meditative attempts in using experimental techniques.  Adam expresses new senses of dimensions, portraying rejuvenation through colorful layers of pastels, acrylics, and spray paints.

Painting with light is the art of using light other than that supplied by nature or a flash to light a scene. All of the photos within this gallery are creating using a digital  camera, simple LED lights, Pen Lights, and a couple other methods.  The two of us have been going around local spots in Northern Vermont and working with local businesses experimenting with different methods of “light painting.” The images that you see are our results. Enjoy!"

Sarah Robinson is showing her photography in the greenhouse

"Sarah Robinson views art as a process of rendering the unseen visible and the unheard audible. The art experience for the artist and the viewer can, at its best, enable the Touching  of that juncture between the culturally conditioned quotidian and our inner spirits, and, thereby opening the doorway between the everyday and the universal in our lives.  As an artist, Ms. Robinson finds this process deeply moving and motivating.

Ms. Robinson was born in Grand Isle County, and, is a VT Native with ancestors dating back to the founding of Bennington, the Revolutionary War, and the subsequent settlement of South Hero, and history.  She has been a photographer and fine artist all her life, and was accepted into fine arts 4 yr college program based on her painting and drawing portfolio from High School, but chose to enter an anthropology career at that juncture, subsequently her art was, until recently, more of a hobby than a vocation.  Ms Robinson continued to paint and draw over the years but did not show her work, choosing rather to give it as gifts, and her photography was focused heavily on her academic interests with some art photography taken now and then as it struck her, and she did a stint in photojournalism, in conjunction with a journalism reporting job in the 1990s.

Ms. Robinson’s Photography covers a wide range.  Her landscapes are characterized by the openness of sky and the use of line.  Her portraits are candid and have a sense of spontaneity.  Her nature work has a keen eye for design in detail, as well as enigma.  Her paintings and charcoal, pencil, and pastel are full of emotion at the same time that they attend to the details of nature, light, and (often the human) form.  Ms. Robinson looks forward to sharing her new creations with the public in the coming years."

The dining room features photography by Christopher Lisle "This series of photographs was inspired bu the diversity of the Vermont landscape and challenging preconceived notions of aesthetics.  It is the duality of modern landscape as man interacts with nature often dismissed as mundane, that jumps out at me in its irony.  I use the camera frame to abstract the natural world as it interacts with man made objects from their reality gives a new interpretation on the seemingly insignificant."
