Vermont Art Zine Review

There's a great art exhibit at the library called, The Art of Creative Aging.  This juried show is sponsored by the Central Vermont Council on Aging.  It's well worth a visit to the library to view this collection of art by 26 artists.  Read the view at the Vermont Art Zine.  The exhibit goes through June.
