November 9 - December 21, 2018
Artist: Phyllis Kornfeld
Opening Reception: November 9, 2018, 5-6 p.m.
Christine Price Gallery
The art show is not simply an expression of the personal thoughts and emotions of the incarcerated artist, but transcends these in the kind of creative engagement that changes a person’s thinking. This work proves that the unlimited human capacity to create beauty and goodness exists in all of us, no less in an incarcerated person, and can be elicited just as violence can.

Sorry, but Hello
December 14-January 26
Artist: Reid Brechner
Opening Reception: December 14, 6-8 PM
Castleton University Bank Gallery
From the Rutland artist Reid Brechner, with an emphasis on color and texture, Sorry, but Hello cautiously reexamines a formative body of work under the lens of place, in tandem with an exploration of newness and what it means to belong. Each piece is created with individual intention and character. As a result, each installation of the work is performative in nature. Because there is no set order or arrangement for the pieces, some or all of the creative activity occurs within the process of installation.
