SUMMARY:Gallery Opening Featuring works by Nancy Pierson
DESCRIPTION:The Gallery at Equinox Village is excited to feature works by Nancy Pierson. A Gallery Opening with the artist\, live music performed by a Mark LaChac\, appetizers and refreshments will be held Friday\, September 18 from 5 – 6 p.m. The Gallery Opening is free and open to the public. The exhibit will remain on display until November 2. The Gallery is open 7 days a week from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. and is free to visit. \nNancy Pierson: “Struggling artist” has never been my M.O. I have gratefully enjoyed a happy\, healthy 98 years\, married to a wonderful man\, raising five lovely daughters\, and sharing our lives with eight or nine dogs along the way. \nMy artistic journey began with classes taught by Margaret Yard Tyler\, a well-known pastel portrait artist in Montclair\, New Jersey. Portraits of children were fashionable at the time\, but I couldn’t afford to have my daughters painted\, so I decided to learn how to do it myself. Before long\, friends began asking me to paint their children\, and my hobby developed into a portrait business. \nWanting to learn more\, I began traveling into New York City twice a week to study at the renowned Art Students League. The beautiful old building\, with its wonderful smells of turpentine and oil and its rich history\, held a special magic for me. I learned from accomplished artists\, worked with professional models\, and spent many happy hours drawing and painting. \nI eventually purchased a small studio apartment on the Upper East Side—much to my husband’s initial concern. Years later\, he was heard to ask\, “Why didn’t you buy a two bedroom?” It became both a wonderful creative retreat and a good investment. \nAfter several years of drawing\, I decided to develop a more marketable skill and managed to gain admission to the Fashion Institute of Technology\, despite being considerably older than its typical student. Two years later\, I had several jobs in fashion illustration. \nEventually\, I happily settled into painting simply because I loved it. I painted people I found endlessly fascinating\, places I loved and wanted to “be in\,” and objects\, flowers\, and plants that captured my attention through their shapes\, colors\, and reflections. Painting brought a sense of wonder\, excitement\, and purpose to my life. \nI am especially grateful to one of my grandmothers\, a dairy farmer’s wife\, mother of five\, church organist\, and newspaper writer. Though she had little opportunity to pursue artistic interests\, she left us one beautiful still life—a lasting reminder of her own talent and an inspiration to me. \nAnother important part of my life has been volunteering. My most rewarding experience was tutoring at a Christian drug and alcohol rehabilitation center for men. I helped residents improve their reading and writing skills\, supported several in earning their GEDs\, organized art days and trips to New York City\, and helped produce an annual Christmas pageant. The men created remarkable and deeply personal artwork\, and I was fortunate enough to paint portraits of several of them. Some still proudly display those portraits in their homes. \nBeing a wife and mother to Amy\, Kaki\, Jennifer\, Sally\, and Phoebe has been my greatest role in life. But painting has given me another extraordinary gift: a lifelong opportunity to observe\, create\, connect\, and find beauty in the world around me. \nAnd I have had a great deal of fun doing it.

SUMMARY:Gallery Exhibit Featuring Works by Scavenger Art Creations
DESCRIPTION:Featuring works by Scavenger Art Creations\nJuly 16 – September 2\, 2026\nGallery Hours: 7 days/week\, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.\nFree & Open to the Public \n  \nTim Taggart grew up in Brownsville\, Vermont. He spent his youth hunting and fishing\, and much of his adult life as a wildland firefighter while living in Nevada. After retiring from firefighting\, Tim and wife Pam moved to the Boise\, Idaho area with their five children. In 2019\, he  began sculpting with recycled metal and ignited his creative passion. With his creative mind and skill from welding\, Tim began to create his art from salvage materials and found objects. His work is designed to emphasize resourcefulness and encourage viewer engagement.\nTogether Tim and Pam scour for scrap metal at local flea markets\, thrift stores and yard sales. Tim uses anything and everything he can lay his hands on for example auto parts\, cycle components\, sprockets\, gears\, old tools\, horseshoes and metal scrap. His artistic gift is what gives a new lease of life to them. \nPam recently retired in 2021 as a teacher working with at-risk middle and high school students. Her creativity started back in the 1970’s when she used to macrame and crochet. A few years ago she decided to start up the macrame creations\, knowing that it would be something of interest and a fun hobby throughout the retirement days to come. To keep with the scavenger art objective of using upcycled materials\, Pam has also begun to create garden art using old tea pots\, glass bowls and costume jewelry. \nThe metal art created is rustic\, not polished or painted. “We want to create metal art pieces that are in their original\, somewhat rusty appearance to give it a unique look\, and also make it affordable for others to enjoy.”  Pam and Tim both have been selling their creations over the past 6 years. \nSince February of 2022\, Tim and Pam have been living in the town/village of Cambridge\, New York. “We wanted to move back east close to where Tim grew up and where the towns have a smaller population along with beautiful views of nature.” The goal is to continue creating metal art\, macrame and garden art in order to inspire others to appreciate the simple\, neglected items from which our creations are formed.

SUMMARY:Gallery Exhibit featuring works by Mary Albyn
DESCRIPTION:Mary grew up in Ohio with a colorful family that boasted some creativity\, along with a lot of unstructured and undisciplined freedom. She had 3 sisters\, all born within 1.5 years of each other and a much younger brother. Her Mom was a socialite and her dad\, a horticulturalist who spent much time at his nursery growing and selling plants\, trees\, and rhododendrons. In early life\, her backyard was his 100-acre nursery. \nMary’s Great Aunt was a famous artist who illustrated children’s books and the weekly comic in My Weekly Reader. If anyone remembers the small mouse on the last page of the Reader\, that was Mary Sherwood Wright Jones’s signature. \nLiving in Rhode Island in the late 70’s\, Mary took lessons in oil painting at Don’s Art Shop in Warren\, a mecca for hippies and other wayward souls. Don was very Bohemian and lessons were a lot of fun with minimal structure. \nAfter moving to Vermont in the early 80’s\, she continued to study oil painting\, taking lessons with Barbara Frey at the SVAC. However\, she did not have much time to paint as she owned the Magic Sleigh Christmas store and had 2 daughters. \nShe happily entered single parenthood when the girls were 2 and 7 years old\, and returned to her profession of Occupational Therapy\, which she had studied at UNH. Her favorite areas of practice were Hand Therapy\, school OT\, and VNA home care. She dabbled in pastels for a while\, taking lessons with Robert Carston. Always fearful of watercolors after the forgiveness of working with oils\, 10 years ago she braved a watercolor class with Lynn Pratt\, a photo-real watercolorist from Pawlet\, who is becoming world famous. \nAlways a lover of frogs and the challenge of catching them\, her latest interest has been finding a picture of a frog and taking the challenge of replicating it. She spends time every day\, as she says\, “wasting time\, wasting paint”\, as well as playing with her puppy\, knitting\, and playing the piano. Retirement is nice! She married the wonderful Peter Palmer 8 years ago and they have a great life together. \nHope you like frogs!!!

SUMMARY:Gallery Exhibit featuring works by The Hedden Family
DESCRIPTION:The Gallery at Equinox Village is excited to present an exhibit featuring works by The Hedden Family. A Gallery Opening with the artist\, live music performed by a Hedden family member\, appetizers and refreshments will be held Thursday\, March 19 from 5 – 6 p.m. The Gallery Opening is free and open to the public. The exhibit will remain on display until May 6. The Gallery is open 7 days a week from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. and is free to visit. \n The Hedden Family always had an artistic inclination; dabbling in everything from woodworking and furniture building to painting\, photography\, needlepoint\, wood carving\, and even stonewall building. Most projects were done for enjoyment rather than profit\, though a few family members found creative and financial success. One went on to attend the Rhode Island School of Design and is now a full-time\nprofessional artist. All pieces in this show represent the family’s artistic legacy. \nBob’s artistic journey began in early childhood and thanks to the encouragement from his parents and grandparents\, he never stopped.\nHe took every art class available in high school and later continued with a few art history courses in college. \nAfter graduating\, Bob joined the family plumbing\, heating\, and Oilheat business\, where he became recognized for his expertise in efficient\nhome heating systems. Painting remained a consistent creative outlet during evenings and weekends for relaxation. \nA family friend in New London\, CT\, who was a fan of Bob’s paintings\, convinced him to enter the Mystic Art Show—a prestigious outdoor\nevent that takes over the town for one weekend each summer. As a first-time exhibitor\, Bob was placed on a quiet residential side street with\nlittle foot traffic\, resulting in zero sales. To add insult to injury\, near the end of the day a passing dog lifted its leg on his watercolor-on-wood\ndisplay and ruined several pieces. Bob took that as the universe’s way of saying not to turn his art avocation into a vocation—and he’s been\npainting for fun ever since. \nIn 1999\, he added stonewall building to his creative repertoire. \nBob has a large family and one very special person who treasure his work\, so nothing in this show is for sale. It’s simply here for you to\nenjoy.

SUMMARY:Gallery Opening: Featuring Works by Andrew Longacre
DESCRIPTION:The Gallery Opening for Andrew Longacre will be held from 5 – 6 p.m. on Thursday\, January 15\, 2026 at Equinox Village. There will b live music by Marc LaChac\, appetizers and beverages for all to enjoy. There is no cost to visit. This exhibit will remain on display until March 4\, 2026. The Gallery at Equinox Village is open 7 days a week from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Please stop by to see the exhibit! \n  \nMy Dad\, Dr. Andrew Longacre\, a physicist\, would occasionally dabble with paints when vacationing. (Winston Churchill did likewise during WW II to relax.) My Dad’s Aunt Lydia Longacre was a professional portraitist in NYC who ultimately painted portraits of her family members\, even as her eyesight was failing. Lydia’s father\, the Reverend Andrew Longacre\, developed a delicate watercolor expertise that he used to record scenes from his travels (rather like an old-time Brownie camera). The Reverend’s Father\, James Barton Longacre\, was a renowned Philadelphia engraver\, who prior to becoming Chief Engraver of the Mint\, produced sepia portraits from life of early American statesmen\, ultimately for publication. And\, should I mention\, too\, that my mother’s Uncle Edwin B. Child was a founder of the Dorset Artists\, which spawned the Southern Vermont Art Center. \nIn the light of this obvious legacy\, it’s perhaps surprising that I did not take up the paintbrush and palette until I fully retired from my career in software design at the age of 63\, and then asked\, “What shall I do for fun now?”. A friend of the family coached me in watercolor techniques and materials\, but after several years I discovered oil paints – much bolder and easier to frame. After also dabbling with pastels\, I ultimately migrated to acrylics\, which don’t smell and dry faster. Thus requiring a lot less patience and a smaller studio. \nI describe myself as a “representational” artist; trying to paint pictures that are quickly recognizable as objects one would see in ordinary life. There is not an “abstract” bone in my body. I’m also a “studio” painter. I work from photos taken of scenes\, objects\, or paintings I would hope to emulate and learn by. In the last several years\, I have started painting on relatively small canvases in tiny detail. My large motor skills have diminished to where it’s gotten hard to draw a straight edge. Still a lotta fun! \nLastly\, more than half my starts end up in the trash can\, but the occasional success is a reassuring victory. And\, what I can show today is those across the years… minus what I have given away to friends and family or bigger canvases that were purged when we downsized and moved to Equinox Village. I’m glad to be able to show off what remains of my work!

SUMMARY:Gallery Opening: "Blind Sight" with Jane Johnson
DESCRIPTION:  \nTHE GALLERY AT EQUINOX VILLAGE PRESENTS \n“Blind Sight” by Jane-Ann Bachelder Johnson \nNovember 20\, 2025 – January 6\, 2026 \n  \nManchester\, VT – The Gallery at Equinox Village is excited to present an exhibit titled “Blind Sight” by Equinox Village resident\, Jane Johnson. A Gallery Opening with the artist\, live music performed by Mark LaChac\, appetizers and refreshments will be held Thursday\, November 20 from 5 – 6 p.m. The Gallery Opening is free and open to the public. The exhibit will remain on display until January 6. The Gallery is open 7 days a week from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. and is free to visit. \n  \nJane Johnson states\, “My artistic journey began in 2006 with my first art lesson in Sanford\, NC\, alongside a group of retirees and our incredible instructor\, Barbara Berman. She was a talented artist and a natural teacher\, especially gifted at identifying each student’s unique strengths. At the time\, I entered the well-known Sanford NC Brush and Palette show – novice category\, and to my surprise\, was awarded a blue ribbon. The judges’ feedback read\, “She has a perfectly skewed perspective\, but it works\, to which my husband replied\, “I could have told them that!” They also appreciated my sense of color. \n  \nThis show was inspired by our Activities Director here at Equinox Village\, who thought it would offer a unique perspective: My journey before and after October 2024\, when I became legally blind. \n  \nMy hope is that this exhibition will be a source of fun and lightheartedness. My art tends to be a bit frivolous\, and I encourage you to come and enjoy a laugh. I believe I haven’t strayed far from my novice period; my perspective is still wonderfully skewed. \n  \nFor connoisseurs of fine art\, please forgive the playful nature of my work. You’ll see my “Vermont Impressions” paintings\, which are a whimsical take on the French Impressionist period\, along with my pierced portraits and floral arrangements\, all designed to bring a smile to your face. \n  \nI especially encourage young art students to visit the exhibition\, share their comments\, and pick out their favorites. I believe we are all born with a sense of humor\, and I hope you’ll engage yours and enjoy the show. \n  \nThis exhibition is dedicated to Pete Johnson\, for always striving to understand me for 65 years. I also want to extend my heartfelt thanks to my family and friends for their tremendous support\, even if accompanied by quizzical looks. Special thanks go to Barbara Berman and my original art class\, to Andrea Stoehr\, Ginny Longacre\, and my wonderful daughter\, Amanda Williams\, for their generous supplies of fabric and other materials. And to Dricka Kimball\, for truly “getting it!”” \n  \n  \nThe Gallery at Equinox Village is located at 49 Maple Street in Manchester Center. To learn about upcoming Gallery Openings and Exhibits go to equinoxvillage.com/gallery/ or call Kara Waite\, Activities Coordinator\, at (802) 362-4061.

SUMMARY:Gallery Opening Featuring works by the Shutterbug Club
DESCRIPTION:The shutterbug club was formed in 2013 by members Jon Davis and Kimberly Burke. Having the desire to learn all I could about photography I relied on Jon’s knowledge and experience in photography. We decided to form a club\, and Jon invited another well-versed photographer in the area to join us. During the next few months\, we gathered a group that also had the desire to learn the fundamentals of photography. Over the course of several years\, we’ve enjoyed field trips\, workshops and eventually showing our work in many venues\, mainly in Southern Vermont. The knowledge we gained through this group set us up to expand on our own personal style and grow our passion as photographers. While over time\, the members changed the goal to expand our knowledge remained. Though the club has been mostly retired in recent years and many have developed their artistic approach on their own\, we remain “The Shutterbugs”. \nWe are pleased to come back as a club and show you\, our work. Vermont and the surrounding areas have a special beauty and it’s a photographer’s playground. We hope you enjoy seeing that beauty through our eyes and lenses.

SUMMARY:Gallery Opening - Amanda Taft Photography
DESCRIPTION:Manchester\, VT – The Gallery at Equinox Village is excited to present an exhibit of selected works by local photographer\, Amanda Taft. A Gallery Opening with the artist\, live music performed by Mark LaChac\, appetizers and refreshments will be held Thursday\, July 17 from 5 – 6 p.m. The Gallery Opening is free and open to the public. The exhibit will remain on display until September 1\, 2025. The Gallery is open 7 days a week from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. and is free to visit. \n  \nAmanda Taft is a wedding and portrait photographer based in the quiet valley of West Arlington\, Vermont. A farmer’s daughter turned storyteller\, Amanda has a deep love for connection\, nature\, and the in-between moments that often say the most. Her photography is a reflection of her life—rooted in simplicity\, emotion\, and meaning. \n  \nWhen she’s not behind the camera\, Amanda is usually trying to keep up with her three kids’ sports schedules\, working on the family farm\, or tending to her highland cows. These everyday joys shape the way she sees the world—and the way she captures it. For Amanda\, photography isn’t just about pretty pictures; it’s about preserving the feeling of a moment\, the way someone smiles when they think no one’s watching\, or the quiet calm between the big events. \n  \nHer approach is personal and relational. Amanda takes the time to get to know her clients\, to understand what matters most to them\, and to make them feel comfortable being fully themselves. Whether she’s photographing a wedding\, an engagement\, or a family session\, her goal is always the same: to tell your story with honesty\, care\, and love. \n  \nAmanda works with people who value real over perfect—who aren’t afraid of a little wind in their hair or mud on their boots\, and who know that the best memories are often the messy\, beautiful\, unexpected ones. \n  \nFor more information about Amanda Taft\, visit her website\, https://amanda-taft.com/ \n

SUMMARY:Gallery Exhibit featuring works by Tom Atkins
DESCRIPTION:Tom Atkins is an artist\, photographer\, and writer based in West Pawlet\, Vermont. His work has appeared in magazines\, books\, trade publications\, marketing materials\, galleries and in many private collections. \nCreating art for the past 30 years\, Atkins works primarily in watercolor\, oil on canvas\, pencil\, as well as pen and ink. \nHis pen and ink work derives from real places – castles\, mansions\, cottages\, spiritual spaces and abandoned buildings long fallen into ruin and disrepair. Pencil works tend towards the fantastical and fantasy\, with its black and white realism in counterpoint with the shades of gray blending into one another. \nAnd his paintings? \n“I am primarily a poet\,”  says Atkins\, “ and my paintings are like poems\, capturing an essence of mood with color\, line\, and space. They have become my first love. ” \nFor more information on Tom Atkins\, visit his website\, https://theartoftomatkins.com/
