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.

Home Design/Build
2023-09-08 09:00 - 17:00, 2023-09-07 09:00 - 17:00, 2023-09-06 09:00 - 17:00, 2023-09-05 09:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Yestermorrow Design/Build School, 7865 Main Street, Waitsfield, 05673
This course has been offered since 1980 and is the heart of our curriculum. It is appropriate for a range of individuals, from the person who wants to “do it all” to the person who simply wants to be informed enough to have meaningful and productive conversations with his or her architect and builder. Students will learn through hands-on construction projects, studio sessions, lectures, slide shows, house tours, and discussion. The Home Design/Build Course will provide individuals with the fundamental skills and resources necessary for creating their dream home – be it new construction or renovation. This course is also a good introduction for those interested in pursuing an architecture or building career. At the end of this intensive course, students typically leave with schematic floor plans, a scale model, and section and elevation drawings. They have gained a new awareness of design, materials, and the process of realizing a home that reflects their values and lifestyle.

Design/Build for Public Spaces
2023-09-08 09:00 - 17:00, 2023-09-07 09:00 - 17:00, 2023-09-06 09:00 - 17:00, 2023-09-05 09:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Yestermorrow Design/Build School, 7865 Main Street, Waitsfield, 05673
You will engage in the hands-on process of designing and building a full-scale community project alongside a nonprofit partner or local community member. Class kicks off with a client meeting where students address a structural need. From there, the team will work within a budget, propose and develop a design, schedule the work, and ultimately build the structure throughout the duration of this two-week class.
A flagship Yestermorrow course that has yielded whimsical structures like the infamous Snail bus stop structure, a mobile farm stand for Shelburne Farms, and a trail shelter for the Mad River Path and more. Students are given the creative freedom to design a project that meets the unique needs of their client. As a result, this course often produces unique and whimsical structures – a building style that Yestermorrow is known for.
This year, we will be building a structure for the new Warren Dog Park. Make your mark on the community, and provide shelter for your neighbors for years to come.

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 (America/New_York) | 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.
