The South End Arts District is officially a reality thanks to the efforts of Burlington City Arts and SEABA.  A new sign erected on the corner of Pine and Main Street directs the public toward Burlington’s South End.

The SEABA Center at 404 Pine Street will act as a new welcome center for the District. Stay tuned for more information about art-related activities and events!

Two South End Burlington Artists show their stuff:

Figures and Faces
work by Catherine Hall
July 1 – July 30
Opening Reception, First Friday Art Walk: July 1, 5-9pm
Frog Boy, by Catherine Hall
  Catherine Hall has been making plaster and wax faces cast from distorted latex molds for over a decade, using recycled flea-market dolls and animals. She has incorporated the doll’s bodies into small figures, and made small encaustic paintings of doll’s and children’s faces. Hall wants the works to embody all of the emotions evoked by our childhood memories, you will see a wide range of this work throughout July at The S.P.A.C.E. Gallery.
The Backspace
(through the S.P.A.C.E. Gallery)
266 Pine Street, Suite 106
Burlington, VT 05401
Dead Men Tell No Tales
work by Adam DeVarney
July 1 – 30
Opening Reception: First Friday July 1, 5-9pm
 Dead Men Tell No Tales, by Adam DeVarney

  Adam DeVarney delves into the heart and soul of fighter pilots past, and lost voyages of space and time. Vagabonds of the great beyond, these haunting characters search for love, lust, and revenge. This series portrays a collection of weary and weathered ghosts of aviation. DeVarney’spaintings combine drawings and acrylic wash with found image and other paper media on wood panel. His work is potent with disparate content, that when juxtaposed, begin to create a dream-like history. The work raises questions of purpose and direction while touching on emotions of inner strength and human resolve.
