Bongiswa Ntobela
until February 24, 2019
"Ubuhle Women: Beadwork and the Art of Independence" features the ndwango (“cloth”), a new form of bead art that has been developed by a community of women living and working together in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The artists use coloured Czech glass beads to transform the flat black cloth into a contemporary art form of remarkable visual depth. Twenty individual ndwangos and one monumental artwork are on view, as well as photographs of the Ubuhle artists.

"Vermont Folk Sculpture: Recent Acquisition" is on view in the John T. Harrison, Jr. Orientation Gallery. The small exhibition highlights the recent acquisition of a Carved Corner Post, c. 1900 created by Russell Risley (1842-1927) of Kirby, Vermont. Risley spent his entire life on his family’s farm where he went about painting on the walls of the house – inside and outside – as well as the out buildings such as the barn.

Raw Vision Short Film Competition
We received many entries for our short film competition and our judges are going through entries now, with the winner being announced in a month's time.
Here's a great entry below by Toby Amies. "Great Gardens Laz Pozas" presents Edward James’s concrete garden in a valley in the Mexican jungle. Originally built to spite nature which had killed his prized collection of orchids in a freak frost, Las Pozas became his most famous poem, one written in concrete.
