You're Invited: Faculty Exhibition at Frog Hollow

The Transcendence: Mooring the Storm Exhibition is underway at Frog Hollow.

Frog Hollow, in partnership with the Burlington Women's Rape Crisis Center, presents “Transcendence” an exhibit featuring Frog Hollow artisans Carol MacDonald and Erik Rehman taking their experience interviewing survivors of sexual violence as a stimulus to create unique, inspirational work which embodies the healing journey and depicts a sense of hope.

The artwork, which focuses on the survivor recovery process, will be publicly created and installed throughout the month of April in the front window of Frog Hollow in an effort to raise awareness regarding sexual violence and survivor recovery in the Burlington Community.
Once completed the work will tour the state of Vermont in an effort to raise awareness statewide regarding resources for survivors of sexual violence before final installation of the work takes place in April 2012 in the Laura Winterbottom room at the Burlington WRCC headquarters.

To follow chronicle the changes that we make and document the development of the installation over the course of the month, check out Carol's blog: http://carolmacdonald.wordpress.com

In addition, Megan James from Seven Days also wrote an article about the exhibition. You can check it out here!
