A leading writer of 20th century modern fiction, Donald Barthelme, once remarked, "Art is not difficult because it wishes to be difficult, rather because it wishes to be art." In truth, most art isn't difficult. It is what it is: paint on a canvas, plaster on a steel frame, ink on paper. And its subject is not that difficult either: a mother holding a child, a tree by a lake, a field of blue next to a pool of orange with a red dot and a yellow streak and some more blue in the corner. The only thing difficult about art is resisting it. This First Friday Art Walk I encourage you to put up no resistance at all to Erik Rehman's luminous dark images at Frog Hollow, Gerard Rinaldi's adagio at Artpath Gallery, Chepe Cuadra’s fragmented figures at SEABA Gallery, or Stephen Schaub's Haiku photographs at Kasini House.
Pick up your copy of Art Map Burlington, First Friday Art Walk’s official publication, and your guide to art in Burlington to see a list of participating venues. Got questions? Call 802-264-4839 or send email to info@artmapburlington.com.
Burlington City Arts offers walking tours led by staff and volunteers who are knowledgeable about each space and can answer questions about the exhibitions. Tours leave from the Firehouse Gallery every half hour, starting at 5:30PM and ending at 7PM. Tours last about an hour and visit exhibitions within walking distance of downtown.
