The Way We Work
Work
by Artists with Studios in AVA’s Carter-Kelsey Building
January
4 – February 1, 2013
Opening
Reception: Friday, January 4, 5-7pm
The Way We Work will show how artists
are currently working in our building—featuring
art in progress next to finished pieces, along with tools and materials used in
each media. The Way We Work is a poignant
juxtaposition to the Smithsonian’s The
Way We Worked, also on display in the galleries.
The
Way We Work will
feature nineteen artists, including Derek Bell, painting; Carrie Fradkin,
mosaic; CATV, video; Jenny Lynn Hall,
sculpture; Stacy Hopkins, jewelry and metalwork; John Joline, drawing; Winkie Kelsey, stone carving; Richard Langdell,
papermaking; Sloane Mayor, architectural design; Dolly Miller, painting;
Victoria Moors, printmaking; Edward Rosario, painting; Joseph Saginor, painting;
Richard Saunders, stone carving; Nance Silliman, painting; Everett Webber, stone
carving; Kay Wegner, fiber art; Paulette Werger, encaustic and metalwork; and
Ann Wilson, architectural design.
There will be a gallery talk by
participating artists, free and open to the public, on Thursday, January 17 at
5:30pm.
The Way We Work, AVA’s first exhibition of
2013, inaugurates an intriguing series of exhibitions that will takes place
during AVA’s 40th anniversary year.
It aptly fits with the slogan for this celebratory year—“Art Works at
AVA.”

Our annual holiday
“extravaganza” will have a new look this year. Rather than ranging through all
four galleries, this year’s members’ show will feature concentrated,
salon-style displays. The exhibition will include the work of artists long
associated with AVA as well as those recently involved with our non-profit
organization. Works in a variety of media—oil, watercolor, drawing,
printmaking, mixed media, photography, ceramics, textile, sculpture, jewelry,
and glass—will be on display and available for sale in a wide range of
prices. AVA’s Holiday Salon will offer
not only a lively view of the state of the arts, but also the perfect occasion
to acquire gifts of lasting value while also supporting local artists. Items may be taken as soon as they are purchased,
and the exhibition will be replenished as work sells, so be sure to visit again
and again!
December Gallery Hours:
Mondays - Saturdays, 11am-5pm
Thursdays, 11am-7pm
Sunday (December 2, 9, 16, and 23), 12noon-4pm

The Way We Worked
A Smithsonian Exhibition Exploring the American Workforce
December 15, 2012 – January 27, 2013
Opening Reception: Saturday, December 15, 3:00-5:00pm
Adapted from an original exhibition developed by the National Archives and Records Administration, The Way We Worked traces the many changes that have affected the workforce and work environment over the past 150 years, including the growth of manufacturing and increasing use of technology. It draws from the Archives’ rich collections, including historical photographs and archival accounts of workers, and makes use of film, audio and interactive components to tell the compelling story of how work impacts our individual lives and the historical and cultural fabric of our communities. The exhibit examines the effects of industrialization, urbanization, immigration, labor unrest, wars and economic depression on ordinary working Americans, and exhibition section titles include: Why We Work, How We Worked, Where We Worked, Who Works.

Support for The Way We Worked has been provided by The Smithsonian Institution, The National Archives, The New Hampshire Humanities Council, Historic New England, and Mascoma Savings Bank.
