early moments of the global pandemic, but like many words,

masked has nuanced and layered meanings. Possibilities

as broadly as it takes to inspire their creativity.

Masked will offer participating artists opportunities to be

featured in statewide publicity, remote and in-person programs,

build larger audiences for their work, and participate

in artist networking events with other Vermont artists with disabilities.

All exhibition host venues are physically accessible,

features coordinated by Inclusive Arts Vermont.

This includes, but is not limited to verbal descriptions, audio

tours, large print, braille, and venue tours.

Vermont artists with various disabilities, regardless of experience

or formal training, who are at least years of age

or older are eligible to apply. We encourage participation by

artists who have lifelong disabilities as well as artists applying

with artwork completed after the onset of their disability.

Artists may obtain assistance with the application form from a

support person, family member, or friend. Artists should have

direct involvement in the completion of an application when

assistance is used, and artwork should only be produced by the

applicant. Inclusive Arts Vermont is also available to support

artists with applications.

The exhibition will be curated by a panel made up of Inclusive

Arts Vermont staff and board, as well as community members.

Barre Art Splash - Artist Of The Week

John Landy with Schatzie

Recently, I have reconnected to my love of painting and have

been exploring ways to connect my painting with natural landscapes.

I fi nd inspiration in nature and our natural environment. I

employ a combination of land, sky and water to capture the natural

world and its peaceful inspiration primarily through the use of

soft pastels. I am particularly inspired to create works of art for

families with a personal connection to a landmark or location. The

site that holds special meaning in the family history or experience.

I am a member of the Vermont Pastel Society, The Paletteers of

Vermont and The Art Resources Association. I am also a long

term board member of the T. W. Wood Gallery & Museum and the

Center for Arts & Learning in Montpelier, VT. Click here to see the
