Mad River Valley Arts in Waitsfield, VT is excited to present ‘The Mad Contemporary’ a cartoon and comics exhibition this August 2- September 14.
The opening reception is on August 3, from 5-7pm. There will be an artist talk on August 3rd at 5:30pm.
MRVArts has invited over a dozen creators of varying ages to share this hybrid art form of pictorial narrative from their own point of view and visual language. Feelings, ideas and personal myth unfold in dramatic sequencing or single captions of imagery with text. Each of their pictorial approaches of character, action, symbol and commentary create story for the purposes of human connection, reflection and social understanding. Come join us and see how this powerful medium of communication draws upon contemporary life today.
The gallery is free to all and open Tuesday- Saturday from 1-5 pm.

Book Launch: To Walk Is To See It: 1 Couple, 98 Days, 1400 Miles on Europe’s GR5
2023-09-07 17:00 - 19:00 | Mad River Valley Arts, 5031 Main Street #2 Village Square, Waitsfield, 05673
June Anderson in conversation with author Kathy Elkind. Wine and cheese included with interview and discussion.
In 2018, Kathy Elkind and her husband decided to take a grown-up “gap year” in Europe and walk the 1,400-mile Grande Randonnée Cinq (GR5) across The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and France. At fifty-seven, Kathy has chosen comfort over hardship: she and Jim get to indulge in warm beds and delicious regional food every night and croissants in the mornings. But the GR5 is not all comfort. Walking day after day for ninety-eight days brings sickness, accommodation struggles, language barriers, and storm shrouded mountains in the Alps. As the days unfold, however, she discovers her own wise strength and comes to the gratifying realization that a long marriage is like a long trail: there are ups and downs and it takes hard work to keep going, but the beauty along the way is staggering.
Books available at gallery reading or pick up ahead of time at Von Trapp or Bridge Side Books in Waterbury.
