Elizabeth Nelson: "Meanwhile" at The Front

3:00pm-4:00pm Elizabeth Nelson: "Meanwhile" at The Front

Join us for an Artist's Talk on Sunday, February 1st at 3pm. Elizabeth Nelson’s paintings reveal to her, as she’s working, how they would like to be made. At completion, they’re objects “with their own life,” she says, as hard for her to change as it would be to change another living person. Nelson’s work is broad in format, theme and media. In “Meanwhile,” she shares hand-size and wall-size pieces, abstracts and landscapes, oils and acrylics and collage. A recurring subject is water: crashing in waves and rivers, rippling in fjords, finding and revealing to us its own path. The show's title refers to the local and global situation. “We're all waiting and unsure and disturbed. Nothing is solid anymore. And meanwhile, we are all still making art,” Nelson says. “The essential philosophy is that everything changes. The other part is that everything is connected.” Gallery Hours: Friday 4-7, Saturday and Sunday 11-5

Montpelier Art Walk at the Vermont Supreme Court Gallery with ROB HITZIG - Planting Confusion, Sowing Doubt

4:30pm-7:00pm Montpelier Art Walk at the Vermont Supreme Court Gallery with ROB HITZIG - Planting Confusion, Sowing Doubt

The Vermont State Curator’s Office presents its first exhibition of 2026 at the Vermont Supreme Court Gallery with Montpelier artist Rob Hitzig, titled Planting Confusion, Sowing Doubt. Hitzig creates two-dimensional large-scale wall sculptures which have taken a fresh direction from the artist’s previous work even though Hitzig’s love of geometry continues to ring throughout this exhibition. Artists often evolve as their art incorporates new and different processes and materials, and Hitzig continues to experiment with works for Planting Confusion, Sowing Doubt by utilizing OSB and MDO plywood, acrylic spray paint, shellac, gesso, and graphite, integrating new biomorphic forms into his geometric shapes that spin off into a new direction that is extremely compelling. When the viewer examines Hitzig’s craftsmanship closely, they discover his extraordinary eye for detail-- born from his former life as a furniture maker. The integration of his brilliant paint colors, new shapes and materials, shines perfectly with each work of art. Free and open to the public. Artist talk at 6PM. Gallery Hours: Monday through Friday / 8:30 – 4:30 pm (closed during lunch hour)
