June 26, 2009: Boston Public Library Hosts Lake Champlain Exhibit June 29-Aug. 3

MONTPELIER, Vt. – A traveling art exhibit commemorating the 400th anniversary of Samuel de Champlain’s exploration of Lake Champlain will be shown at the Boston Public Library (July 1- Aug. 3).

The exhibit, “Champlain’s Lake Rediscovered: Vermont Artists Celebrate the Lake,” features 39 juried works by Vermont artists. Included in the collection are paintings, drawings, photography and handcrafted pieces. Shelburne Farms opened the exhibit in May, followed by a two-week exhibit at the National Arts Club in New York. It was the first time the National Arts Club hosted a traveling art exhibit representing living Vermont artists.

“The exhibit celebrates the historic beauty of Lake Champlain by contemporary artists who live and work in Vermont,” said Middlebury artist and exhibit curator Doug Lazarus. “It also gives these talented artists the opportunity show their work in major metropolitan areas outside of Vermont.”

The show, sponsored by the Willowell Foundation, will return to Vermont later this summer at the Southern Vermont Arts Center in Manchester (Aug. 22 to Sept. 20), with a final stop at the Vermont State House in Montpelier ( Sept. 23-Oct. 21).
