Hello,
I work for the promoters of the Manchester and Stowe Vermont Craft Fairs, and I am wondering how/if we can get more detailed information about the shows listed here. Most helpful I guess would be the name of the shows, and how to contact us to apply.

Any help with this will be most appreciated!

Now through Labor Day-- at Berkshire Botanical Garden
Experience An Unprecedented Companion Art Exhibition
"Cultivate"
A Garden-Wide Exhibition of
Site-Specifice Works of Contemporary Art
In Collaboration with MASS MoCA


SEE Cultivate an amazing display of site-specific new contemporary art at the Berkshire Botanical Garden, Stockbridge, Massachusetts. This garden-wide show is the result of an unprecedented collaboration between the Garden and MASS MoCA contemporary art Musueum and curated by Denise Markonish. Culitvate is a companion to MASS MoCA's Badlands show now on display.

Badlands artists present an intense look at the declining landscape while the artists in Cultivate take a nurturing approach to nature. "Cultivate opens our eyes to the symbiotic relationship we have with the land and helps us see the world around us in a new way."

The twelve artists in Cultivate are: Betsy Alwin, Brooklyn, New York; Vaughn Bell, Seattle, Washington; Leila Daw, Branford, Connecticut; Christopher Frost, Somerville, Massachusetts; Petra Groen, The Netherlands; Christopher K. Ho, New York, New York; R. Elliott Katz, Burlington, Vermont; Lynn Koble, New York, New York; Joseph Smolinski, New Haven, Connecticut; Luke Stettner and Mac Carbonell, Brooklyn, New York and Jennifer Zackin, New York, New York.

Joseph Smolinski, fascinated by the phenomena of cell phone towers disguised as fake trees, has attach a cell phone tower looking device to a live tree on the island in the Garden's Pond. Leila Daw is inspired by the history of the landscape, maps and ancient ruins. Visitors will find her series of rocks hanging from tree limbs. Jennifer Zackin's sculpture suggests a link to the Apollo 11 space capsule with healing plants growing inside.


Cultivate is free with the price of admission.For further information call 413-298-3926 or visit www.berkshirebotanical.org.
