Burlington Galleries

CCV Burlington Offers Space to Local Artists

Mission:
CCV invites artists to exhibit their work in the college's Burlington Galleries. The galleries are located in the main hallway in the Pearl Street building, the atrium space in the Cherry Street lower level, and the 3rd floor of the Cherry Street building. We are currently accepting submissions for art and craft exhibits.

These galleries are designed to act as an academic forum for the display of new ideas. Their ultimate purpose is to expose CCV students and the Burlington community to contemporary artists, their art, and processes. Artists will display their work for a semester and may be invited to give a community slide lecture demonstrating their artistic process, emphasizing the use of materials, fundamentals of design, and importance of the foundations to developing artists.

The Cherry Pit Gallery

Tom O'Brien
Sic Transit Gloria Mundi: The Vanitas Landscape

Oil on Masonite- O’Brien asks that the viewer inhabit his landscape, to feel alone in the sense of place, and find what emotions that brings forth for them. Perhaps, somewhere through these windows, one will experience the sense of humanity and transience O’Brien wished to share. November 5 - December 20, 2009.

PEARL STREET EXHIBITS

The Pearl Gallery

Everyday Myths

Acrylic and Mixed-media painting. Though stories, we create an image of self. To ourselves, and to the people around us, our memories help make us who we are. But if the memories are not perfectly exact, instead of fact, the story becomes fiction, and therefore, a myth. The show runs November 2 - December 20, 2009.

Other Artistic News

The Burlington Galleries are listed in the locally based art zine, The Art Map Burlington (distributed by Maison Kasini).

We continue to enjoy the fact that local galleries and museums are part of a map that is printed and distributed throughout Burlington each month. All three galleries are listed on the map, and we know this has encouraged more foot traffic through our galleries. Due to the hours the Burlington site is normally opened, the Pearl Street Gallery and the two Cherry Street Galleries have different viewing hours. Please check the map for gallery hours.
