NXT Gallery at Next Stage Arts in Putney, Vermont, presents “Forgotten Not Gone,” a new exhibition by Brattleboro-based artist Joey Morgan. The show features 12 mixed-media collage works salvaged from a previous project, “Have You Ever Loved Me?,” which was largely destroyed in a flood. An opening reception will be held on May 24, and the exhibition runs from May 8 to August 9.
The exhibition matters because it demonstrates how artists can transform personal and environmental loss into new creative narratives. Morgan’s work, which has been shown internationally at venues like the Sydney Biennial and the National Gallery of Canada, highlights the resilience of art and the power of fragmentation and memory in visual storytelling. It also underscores the role of small regional galleries in bringing meaningful contemporary art to local communities.
