Do you sometimes wonder what Biden has accomplished?
A textile poster project has been created by artivists in the Mad River Valley and Waterbury to showcase some of this administration’s achievements. Each piece portrays in visually graphic terms, through a variety of techniques, what has been accomplished on behalf of the American people under the stewardship of the Biden-Harris administration. We hope each viewer will enjoy our art, and leave the show with a deeper understanding of how the Biden-Harris administration has been creating “Progress for the People.”
Date: February 14, 4-7 pm
Where: Grange Hall Cultural Center, 317 Howard Avenue, Waterbury Center Vermont
Brought to you by Indivisible Mad River Valley, a grassroots group of concerned Vermonters organizing and taking action on a variety of local, statewide and national issues. IndivisibleMRV@gmail.com, or Indivisible MRV on Facebook

John Anderson Exhibit at MRV Arts
2024-02-14 13:00 - 17:00, 2024-02-13 13:00 - 17:00, 2024-02-10 13:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Festival Gallery at Valley Arts, 5031 Main Street,, Waitsfield, 05673
What’s the big idea? As a freshman in college, my first grade on a paper was a D-
minus. When I spoke to the professor about my failure, he told me I knew the
material, the facts, but had no Big Idea. This was a huge lesson then and has
remained so ever since.
Concept, line and space drive the inquiry in my creative practice, both as an architect
and as an artist. In my work, both line and space are constructed to serve an imagined — even
irrational — beginning (The Big Idea). A conceptual narrative takes shape, a backstory
might develop, a fantasy or a metaphor might direct the path of the project. As I
proceed in my design process a kind of acceptance of a new reality starts to inform
me and a dialogue of choices and decisions take off.

The Mad River Valley Women in Business group is a network of women business leaders in our community who have come together to unite, support, connect and grow. The group began in 2021 as we were in the midst of big changes within our local economy. There was a surge of new businesses starting, an influx of people moving into the community exacerbating an already difficult housing market, existing establishments were turning over and chamber membership was growing. Much of this change is being driven by women in our community. There is a strong desire within the MRV Chamber ‘s leadership to develop and support a vehicle for women to work together to support one another, access information and resources, achieve business goals and promote the greater good in the MRV.
