Zero Celsius
2026-02-03 13:00 - 17:00, 2026-02-04 13:00 - 17:00, 2026-02-05 13:00 - 17:00, 2026-02-06 13:00 - 17:00 | Mad River Valley Arts, 5031 Main Street #2 Village Square, Waitsfield, 05673
ZERO CELSIUS takes place at Mad Arts and Sugarbush Resort, and gathers artists who explore the textures, tensions, and transformations of winter.
From the hush of frozen landscapes to the volatility of a warming climate, the exhibition reflects on how the cold season shapes—and is reshaped by—human and environmental relationships.
Bringing together sculpture, installation, sound, photography, and digital media, ZERO CELSIUS examines winter as material, concept, and metaphor: crystalline, fleeting, and ecologically vital. The exhibition invites visitors to consider the fragility of snow in a changing world, to reconnect with winter’s wonder and silence, and to share their own stories and memories of a season both timeless and increasingly imperiled.
