The On the Way Art Show and Sale will be held Sunday, Aug. 3, from noon to 4 p.m. at the Moretown Town Hall, 994 Route 100B.
The afternoon of art and music spotlights four Vermont artists who meet regularly to inspire new ideas and to critique each other’s work. Cards, matted art, framed photography, photo books and more will be on exhibit.
Moretown is “on the way” to the Vermont Festival of Arts in the Mad River Valley.
The artists:
• Holly E. King grew up in New Mexico and lived in Tucson, Ariz., before moving to Vermont. She has sold her work throughout the Southwest and recently exhibited in the Art of Horror show at the SPACE Gallery in Burlington.
• Patricia Lyon-Surrey has lived in Vermont for more than 40 years and most of her photos are taken within the state. She spent a week studying with well-known photographers Freeman Patterson and Andre Gallant in New Brunswick, Canada, and has taken art classes through the Helen Day Art Center and local colleges. Her photos have been exhibited throughout Vermont.
• Michelle Saffran lives in Moretown. She earned a master of fine arts degree from the Artist Institute of Boston at Lesley University and exhibits her inventive photo-based work nationally. Her work is in several private and public collections.
• Jackie Smith is a seventh-generation native of central Vermont who creates photo assemblages and alternate worlds from what she observes in nature. Her whimsical carrots have appeared in exhibits, stores and farmers markets in Montpelier, Barre and Burlington. One of her assemblages, “Ladies Room,” won a creative competition at Burlington’s SPACE Gallery.
