A powerful week at The Current.
On Tuesday, interdisciplinary artist Mary Mattingly joined art historian Dr. Julie Reiss for a conversation about art, climate change, and the evolving role of artists in responding to ecological crisis.
Throughout the week, Mary also led cyanotype workshops with 2nd–4th grade students from Stowe Elementary School, where students experimented with composition, pattern, and sunlight to create their own prints, and asked thoughtful questions about her artistic process.
And tonight, our winter series concludes with a student poetry reading featuring 7th and 8th grade students from Stowe Middle School. Inspired by Water Writes the Garden, their poems explore climate change, interconnected life systems, and water as storyteller and timekeeper.
Thank you to everyone who joined us this week to explore the connections between art, ecology, and community.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our recent talk with Bill McKibben. We were honored to gather with so many community members for an evening of reflection, learning, and conversation around climate, civic engagement, and the power of collective action.
Attendees described the talk as “illuminating and energizing,” “informative and thought provoking,” and shared that “Bill McKibben is a moral figure of great significance.” We’re grateful to have shared this inspiring evening together.
Missed the talk or want to watch again? ▶ The full recording is now available on our website (link in bio.)
We hope you’ll continue the conversation with us at upcoming talks, exhibitions, and public programs at The Current.

Today as we honor the work and life of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., we reflect on our own values and strategic plan at The Current. Our commitment to addressing issues of climate justice, social justice, inclusivity, and equity through art, action, and informed discourse can be seen through our exhibitions and public programs. We believe in art as a catalyst for change, a platform for civic engagement, and a way to bring people together.
Above all, we must be brave, be courageous, and keep moving forward.
