Annual Student Exhibit Opening Saturday at the Chaffee!

The Chaffee Art Center, Your Center for Creativity, is proud to again showcase young artists in grades PreK-12th from 20 Vermont schools and homeschoolers for our Annual Student Exhibit, “Visions of heART” We invite the community to come celebrate with us at the Opening Reception on Saturday, March 7th from 12pm to 2pm. There will be lite refreshments and no charge for admittance. The Chaffee takes great pleasure in presenting the opportunity for these talented young people to be inspired by seeing their work, and the works of others, displayed in our 1890’s historic mansion galleries. A heartfelt thank you to all of the teachers, parents, family and friends who encourage young artists to explore the arts, as well as to the artists who continue to amaze and inspire. Additionally, Chaffee artist members will have work on display and for sale in the upstairs galleries, as well as in the Gallery Shoppe that is filled with handmade treasures and gift ideas for any occasion, or even for yourself! The Student Exhibit will be on display until April 3rd. Admittance is free. A donation would be greatly appreciated. Plan to visit the Chaffee during open hours to experience the beauty of the 1890’s Queen Anne Victorian Mansion and the wonderful works of art throughout, plus our Gallery Shoppe that is filled with handmade treasures and gift ideas for any occasion! While here, picture your next event, bridal shower, wedding, meeting or retreat being held in our beautiful mansion, fondly known by its first owners as Sunny Gables.
