The 78th Annual Members’ Exhibition, featuring 10 galleries of exceptional paintings, sculpture, photography and mixed media pieces, is a direct descendant of a hastily assembled 1922 show that was–although none of the artists appearing in that venue knew it at the time–the first exhibition of what is now the Southern Vermont Arts Center. That first show, mounted in Dorset, Vermont, featured the works of Edwin B. Child, Francis Dixon, Wallace W. Fahnestock, John Lillie, and Herbert Meyer who would later be known collectively as the Dorset Painters. Now open only to Artist Members who either live in Vermont or within a 50-mile radius of the Arts Center, the prestigious Annual Members’ show features more than 200 works from some of the finest artists in the Northeast.
