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,
and the exhibition will provide accessible program and communication
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.

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
