Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

'Women to Watch 2010: Contemporary Figurative Painting'

Idoline Duke, formerly of the Helen Day Art Center, has curated an exhibit of paintings by Susan Abbott, Carrie Gelfan, Kate Longmaid, Aline Ordman and Adelaide Tyrol for the Vermont Committee of the National Museum of Women in the Arts. Duke believes these artists represent the best of Vermont figurative painting by women and deserve wider recognition. Viewers can have a look at Stowe’s West Branch Gallery through November; the exhibit will then travel to the Amy E. Tarrant Gallery in Burlington, the Christine Price Gallery at Castleton State College, and St. Michael’s College. Pictured: a painting by Carrie Gelfan.
