Home Grown Furniture Show Features Artists and Wood from Peacham's East Hill

For June and July, the Gilmore Gallery is proud to feature the work of East Hill wood artists Tim McKay and Jeff Scott. 

Tim McKay has lived in Peacham since 1977. He produces Shaker inspired furniture made with hardwood sustainably grown, harvested and sawn all on his family's tree farm on Peacham' East Hill.

Jeff Scott learned to build lodgepole style furniture while living in Wyoming and Idaho, and brought his skills and his own take on this unique style back to Peacham several years ago. He also builds with wood grown, harvested and worked on East Hill -- often accented with antlers acquired from wherever he can find them.

Featured in this exhibition, scheduled to run through July, are several pieces form each artist. There are tables, benches, picture frames, and even a bed. Please come take a look, and plan to attend the artists' reception in the Gallery on Sunday, July 7th from 4 to 6PM.

Show your support for art education!

The Gilmore Gallery is proud to feature artwork from students of the Peacham Elementary School for April and May. Thanks to the tireless efforts of art teacher Omri Parsons (along with visiting artists Harley Strader and Jane Woodhouse), Peacham students of all grades have been discovering and developing their talents in a wide variety of media this school year -- and in the process, they're learning to see and interpret their world in ever more creative ways. From preschoolers up to 6th grade, every student has had a hand in this show. We urge you to come in and check it out.

We also maintain an online store where you can purchase commemorative items from this and many previous Gilmore Gallery exhibits. Just go to CafePress.com/GilmoreGallery. Proceeds are used to offset gallery operating costs.

All three of these Peacham residents have been active in the local arts community for many years, and all three are contributing to the Peacham Elementary School this year as artists in residence – exposing Peacham's budding young artists to the artistic process in a wide variety of media.

An artists' reception is scheduled for Sunday, February 17th, from 4 to 6PM. 

Gallery Reception THIS SUNDAY, Dec. 16 from 4 to 6

Don't forget the reception for our Northern Skies Observatory astrophotography exhibit this Sunday, December 16th from 4 to 6PM.

Astrophotography Exhibit from Peacham's Own Northern Skies Observatory

For December and January, the Gilmore Gallery at the Peacham Library is pleased to present a brand new astrophotography exhibit of images created by students and teachers at the Northern Skies Observatory in Peacham. These stunning images of both near and deep space were all created at the observatory, which is run by the Northeast Kingdom Astronomy Foundation. Come take a look, and don't forget about the gallery reception on December 16th, from 4 to 6PM.

Artist's Reception THIS SATURDAY from 4 to 6!

Don't forget to come to The Gilmore Gallery at The Peacham Library this Saturday, October 20th from 4 to 6PM. Susan McClellan will be there (along with snacks) for a reception to highlight her first solo exhibition of oil paintings, titled "Still Life & Bygone Life." The show will be up through November, but Saturday will be your big chance to meet the artist and learn more about her work.

For October and November, the Gilmore Gallery at The Peacham Library is proud to be the first to feature oil paintings by Peacham's own Susan McClellan. A long time publication designer (and currently art director for Vermont Life magazine), Susan brings a finally honed sense of color, proportion and texture to more than 20 canvases in this, her first solo exhibit. Susan's introduction is below:

Bygone Life – When my parents died four years ago, I ended up with some very old family albums. I'd seen the pictures countless times, but now the photographs were somehow more intriguing, as if they had something more to reveal. For me they had an appeal that contemporary snapshots do not – maybe because so few were taken in those days. Or perhaps I prefer the look of the early 20th century – the clothing, the cars, the landscape. And I like pondering what the people in these pictures would have thought, had they known that in the 21st century a great-great-grand-daughter or niece would be painting a picture, imagining the moment, bringing them partway to now.

Don't forget, if you'd like to purchase copies of any of our exhibit posters (or postcards, greeting cards, mugs, t-shirts, tote bags, etc.), you can go to our online store and shop to your heart's content, knowing that all of the profits will go to help fund the Peacham Library.
