(The Old Village Church by Jane Booth)

Come join us for a celebration of the arts in Newbury. Both the Vermont Crafts Council and Vermont North by Hand are having Open Studio Tours October 3rd and 4th from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and many talented local artist are participating. The Newbury Woman’s Club (NWC) has opened the doors of The Old Village Church on the Newbury Common allowing a Hub site to be created for the weekend.

The NWC will be offering a delicious lunch and provide snacks during the weekend exhibition and proceeds will benefit restoration work on the historic landmark. This is an important fundraiser for the NWC as Modern Woodmen has offered a $2500 matching grant to the club, so please stop in and support the restoration efforts.

The Hub at The Old Village Church will feature the work of 12+ local artists — from paintings to wood turning, there is a fantastic range of work. We hope you will join us and enjoy a visual feast while you feast on a harvest luncheon.

Artists include Jane Booth, Keita Colton, Chris Esten, Michael Heffernan, James McGarrell, Karyn Neubauer, Linda Taylor, Frank Tegethoff, Brad Vietje, and Matson Booth Vollers

Linda Bryan, Robert Chapla, John Layton, Judith Lerner will be displaying work at the Hub but have studios open to the public in their homes. Ask for a copy of the tour maps for directions.
