OFF THE WALL
2025-03-21 17:00 - 19:00
Off The Wall
March 6-March 21, 2025
Tuesday- Saturday 1-5pm
Reception: March 21, 5-7pm
We are hosting a new community initiative called Off The Wall.
Mad Arts is thrilled to own this popular art fundraiser in the Valley. We have kindly requested Valley and Vermont artists to experiment with a provided 10”x10” x 1.5” panel to benefit the operations of our community art center.
Our devoted creatives transform the intangible into reality, which then becomes the panel for a proud art collector or community passer-by. We encourage everyone who visits us for the first time to pop into this short window of wonderful talent as artists continue to be a top producer of community culture.

Stardust Exhibit by the Mad 8 Collective
2025-08-21 13:00
The Mad 802 Collective is proud to share ‘Stardust’, an exhibition about The Quantum World. The Quantum World is one of uncertainty. One can’t really talk about where a quantum object is, we can only talk about where we might find it. Yet, our seemingly solid reality is built upon this tiny world of possibilities, stuff has form, the universe has form and we are solid.
This show looks at the behavior of photons, particles and mysterious patterns of quantum phenomena. It inspires us to think about the magic of the quantum fundamental basis to reality and asks us to be curious about where the human species is going.
Artists open up to their interpretation of the immaterial while engaging with the scales of the unimaginable tiny to the infinitely large.
