MRV Women in Business – Social Media Workshop
2026-03-12 17:00 - 19:00 | MRV Chamber Welcome Center, 9 Route 17, Waitsfield, VT, 05673, United States
These bi-monthly workshops are a place to have an open conversation about social media, what is working for everyone, what isn’t, what do you need help with? The MRV Chamber’s MRV Women in Business group decided to host these bi-monthly Social Media Workshops in the months in between the more structured MRV Women in Business Meetings. It is meant to be an open, collaborative brainstorming session designed to help you feel a little more prepared the next time you create a post or reel.
Let’s be honest, social media can feel overwhelming.
What do you post?
Should you use trending sounds?
Do captions really matter?
What makes a strong hook?
Why should people follow your page? Is your SEO set up?
This workshop is a space to come together and talk all things social. We’ll brainstorm content ideas, discuss what’s actually working right now, explore collaborations, and share experiences. The goal? You leave feeling inspired and ready to create a few new posts for your page. We will share hook ideas, trending sound ideas, adding words to the screen, adding captions, and anything else you would like to cover. The event is hosted by Samantha Ciccone, the coordinator of the MRV Women in Business Group.
Please feel free to BYOB if you’d like to sip while we brainstorm, and you’re welcome to grab snacks from Peace Burger across the street or from your favorite local spot.

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.

‘Zero Celsius’ with Environmentalist Bill McKibben and Artist-filmmaker Rob Reynolds
2026-03-14 15:30 - 17:30 | Big Picture Theater, 44 Carroll Road, Waitsfield, 05673
Time & Location
Mar 14, 2026, 3:30 PM – 5:30 PM
Big Picture Theater & Cafe, 48 Carroll Rd, Waitsfield, VT 05673, USA
MAD ARTS, with art show Zero Celsius, brings you Reynolds’ art video, The Word for Weather is Knowledge. The screening will be followed by a lively exchange, ranging from the special place of Greenland today to art and environmental awareness, celebrating McKibben’s recent book, Here Comes the Sun.
Short synopsis
The Word for Weather is Knowledge is a single channel video installation by Los Angeles based
artist Rob Reynolds, filmed in Arctic Greenland during the summer of 2019, the warmest period
in recorded history (to that date). The project began as a restaging of a tense sequence in
Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now during peak melt in the Arctic circle.
Filming in high-definition video as a platform for close looking, the project was shot entirely in
midnight sun from a small open boat in close proximity to giant icebergs, tracing the constantly
changing contours of the Jakobshavn Icefjord, one of the greatest contributors to sea level rise
on earth. While billions of gallons of meltwater flow into the ocean from the Greenland ice
sheet, an improvised voiceover by a local boat driver in Greenlandic (Kalaallisut) dialect offers a
first-person, personal perspective on recent ecological changes transforming the Arctic,
revealing that the Inuktitut word for weather, for knowledge and even spirit are one in the
same: sila. With musical soundscape by composer Craig Wedren.
