The Highland Center for the Arts in Greensboro is hosting "Salt, Stone & Stars," a multidisciplinary event celebrating the Vermont pastoral tradition through literature and visual art. The program highlights the connection between two books centered on shepherding, Helen Whybrow’s "The Salt Stones" and Jody Gladding’s translation of "The Serpent of Stars," alongside the opening of the exhibition "Seasons & Cycles."
This event underscores the enduring relationship between agriculture and the arts in regional communities. By featuring female Vermont artists—many of whom are active farmers—the exhibition provides a platform for authentic rural perspectives, illustrating how the rhythms of farm life and the natural landscape continue to serve as vital muses for contemporary local practice.
