North End Studio Art Gallery
The North End Studio (NES) has expanded our connection with the art community to include visual art. To this end, we have created a program which will host visual artists. Each artist installation will run for a month with displays both on provided wall space within the studio, as well as in the lobby of the building.
The Salon: A Journal of Poetry & Fiction, is pleased to introduce the Local Literature Library into North End Studios. The goal of the library is to make local authors and publications more visible and available to the general public. We're always looking for donations, so if you'd like to have a favorite book of yours in the library just bring it by the studio with a note. Currently there are collections of poems by David Cavanagh, Tina Escaja, Elizabeth Powell and many others, as well as Vermont periodicals such as Green Mountains Review, Vermont Literary Review, Queen City Review, and others. Happy reading!
