“Spring in Vermont” byMay Featured Artist Deborah Holmes

FromThe

President

Happy spring!

I am hoping that by the time you receive this edition of Frog Notes, it really will feel like spring!

As some of you may know the Frog Hollow Board of Directors has recently divided into two groups:a non-profit board comprised of, Susan Bray, Vice President; Carol MacDonald, Secretary; Roy Feldman, Treasurer and with Brad Rabinowitz, as non- profit board president, and a for profit board made up of Larry Kruse Treasurer; Kevin Ruelle, Secretary and myself as president. Rob Hunter, our Executive Director, sits on both boards as does Brad Rabinowitz. I consider it a privilege for me to be the new president of the for profit board and for being a part of the board for the past three years, working with these wonderful individuals who really care about the future of Vermont craft and art.

We are fortunate to live in a state with so many creative people and to have an establishment like Frog Hollow that reveres and offers the best of their talents to residents and visitors to the state. It is also quite a feat for a small business such as Frog Hollow to have stayed in business for over 40 years. This is certainly an anomaly in the age of Amazon; and speaks to Vermonters’ core appreciation for the hand crafted, one of a kind or limited production work that we exhibit.

A few weeks ago, at a staff pot luck gathering, we identified an area that we hope will enhance not only our customers’ experience in the gallery but the Frog Hollow community as a whole. That is, the ability to share more information about the artists and their stories. This supports the year’s gallery goal for more meaningful engagement with our Frog Hollow community via increasing memberships and the sharing of the fascinating stories that are associated with our member artists and their amazing work that is on display. It is not only wonderful to own a beautiful piece of artwork, but it is extra special to know how it is made, what inspired it and even the artist’s journey to the place where they are now producing their work.

Please take an extra moment when in the gallery and talk with Ruby, Daphne, Kristin A and Kristen B, Kim, Emy, Travis, and Polly; and make it a small goal of yours to get to know more about the Vermont artists we represent, who are quite possibly your neighbors.

About Elizabeth Lawrence

Liz Lawrence holds a BAA degree in Textile Design/Weaving from Boston University’s Program in Artisanry.

Following her graduation from the program she launched a weaving business marketing one of a kind sculptural bed covers, commissioned tapestries and limited production shawls.

She left weaving to open a store in South Burlington called, Essential Homewares. The store was open from 1987 through 1995. The business focused on storage and organizational products for the home and home office as well as other thoughtfully designed products for kitchen and table top.

Currently, she is a Merchandise Manager for the direct marketing division of Gardener’s Supply Company; and has been there for 16 years. She works directly with vendors, developing products for outdoor and indoor décor, clothing, plant supports and structures, lighting and furniture.

“I really do love the involvement with Frog Hollow as American Craft still means a lot to me. I am psyched to specifically help promote Vermont artists as there are so many extraordinary artists in this tiny state. We are lucky to live in an area of the country that really values creativity and the talent we have.”

GalleryPhotography Policy

By Rob Hunter

At a recent family gathering a relative was describing a painting at a gallery he had visited. “It was amazing, until I got up close and saw the price...no way could I afford that!” at which point his son chimed in “yeah, but I got it anyway” and held up his smart phone referencing the camera lens in the back of it. My blood pressure raised a few notches as I explained that they were the kind of customers that I have been trying to educate in the gallery regarding this new rampant practice. A conversation followed.

To me the photography of art is a respect issue. Respect for the artist's talent, technique and the decision to make a living creating new and original items and designs. In our fast paced world of personal devices an unprecedented level of entitlement has developed. We have far from given up our American mentality to posses items, instead we now feel we can attain everything we ever wanted and carry it around in our pockets without cost or permission. It creates, to me, a level of arrogance that is hard to sometimes wrap my head around.

A recent google search for the gallery revealed an online review by an irate father who visited

4

our Church Street location. Apparently he had let his young daughter roam unattended through the gallery while he too looked around. His daughter soon sought him out and asked if they could leave, which they did. Shortly after she told him the reason for their departure was that she had been asked to not take photos of the artwork. His response: a scathing review of the gallery instead of educating his daughter in regards to the intellectual properties of the artists. Ironically, he also faulted Frog Hollow for not posting signs regarding our no photography policy, which we have posted on the front door since 2010, right next to the sign which ask that you not leave your young children unattended in the gallery.

This of course prompted some organization self reflection. A conversation with our lawyer revealed this short and concise response...

Yes, it is copyright infringement.  Copyright infringement occurs when there is an unauthorized reproduction of a work of another or an unauthorized creation of a derivative work of the work of another.  Pictures of a work of art are derivative works and can only be taken with the approval of the copyright owners.

In the age of social media and the “selfie” this is becoming a more common sight as visitors to the gallery want to document their experiences and all the cool things they see...and don't want to pay for.

In searching out other organizations policies on this topic we found similar statements as can be seen in this Maryland Gallery policy...

Photography in any of M______'s galleries is prohibited without written permission of the artist(s). A written statement from the artist(s) granting permission to photograph must be presented to the Exhibitions Office prior to any photography.

Exceptions to this policy include documentation of gallery installations and artwork for purposes of publication and archiving by M______'s Exhibitions Office and the Office of Communications.

What is truly interesting to me is a subsequent conversation I had with a photographer we represent in the gallery. I expressed my dismay at the increased need to police visitors to the gallery as a result of this problem. His response... “Why?”

He went on to explain that he didn't see the level of quality people get with phone cameras as all that great. This coupled with glare off of the glass and a multitude of other reasons prompted him to allow folks to photograph his work when doing markets and craft fairs. “Most people just want to show their partner what they would like to buy. Why not let them walk with a reminder of my work?”

Huh?!?!?

In light of this conversation I looked back over my talks with lawyers, policies from other galleries, our own gallery signage and my personal frustrations around the subject and realized this really isn't a question for Frog Hollow, but rather one for each of our artisans to answer. Simply put, we cannot make a blanket statement that will cover the needs and opinions of everyone we represent. Our goal is to interact and educate individuals who visit our gallery as to the craftspeople of Vermont and their processes. In an effort to engage more of our customers as they visit our gallery we will be changing our signs to read...

Over the next few months we will be reaching out to our artisan base and asking who permits photography and who would rather not allow photography of their work in the gallery. It is our hope that this will in turn best serve our artisan body as well as the good people who visit our gallery.

Artist ProfileJuly Sculpture Bus Tour with Artist Kate Pond

Equal parts function and elegance, Kate Pond's sculptures enliven their environments in Vermont and across the world. Born in Maine and raised in Montpelier, Pond began working in sculpture in the 1970s. She constructs her pieces out of Corten steel, which rusts and develops a dark, lush patina over the years, and stainless steel, an ideal surface to reflect light from her swirling designs. Pond's works engage passersby, beckoning them to sit, climb, and lay across them. She sets her work apart from other public sculptures by contemplating the space, its relationship to nature, and its place in society. These big-picture questions lead her to innovative, refined, and strong designs that provide the space with both beauty and meaning.

We see Pond tackle the relationship among the location of the work, the cosmos, and the inhabitants of the area most emphatically in her World Sculpture Project, 1993-2015. The five site-specific sculptures of this series create symmetrical relationships to each other and align with specific times and seasons. Pond anchored the first piece in the series, Zigzag, in Stanstead, Quebec, Canada, near her home. Zigzag casts a shadow along the east/west horizontal pipe north on the sculpture Conceptualizing the project as one rooted in harmony, she hoped to balance Zigzag with works in the northern and southern hemispheres. Her search led her to Oslo, Norway, where she constructed Solekko, whose design highlights the summer solstice. Formed in the shape of a cone, the sculpture does not cast a shadow when the sun reaches its peak on the solstice. After encountering some difficulty finding a contact in Hawaii for

her third piece, she shifted her sights to Japan where she built Himeguri, located in Izumi, Sendai. Like Solekko, Himeguri aligns with the summer solstice. Her next two sculptures, All One in Honolulu, Hawaii and Telling Stones in Mapua, Richmond, New Zealand, correspond to the Pleiades heliacal rising, which happens in November or December and marks the new year for the Maori and Native Hawaiians. These last three works in the series form a triangle in the Pacific Ocean, forming another symmetrical relationship. Each sculpture includes a time capsule filled with art by children living near it, describing their hopes, dreams, and concerns about the future. Pond will unearth them in 2015 on the date of their solar alignments.

July Sculpture Bus TourResidents of the Burlington-area will have the opportunity to see and learn about twelve of Pond's local pieces, including those held in private collections not usually accessible to the public, during the Celebration of Sculpture Bus Tour!. It takes place on Sunday, July 20, 2014 from 9 am to 4 pm, and it will lead participants through twenty-seven years of Pond's work. More information about the tour can be found at Kate's website http://www.vermontsculpture.com or by contacting the artist at kpsculptor@gmail.com.

Frog Hollow continues to receive applications from artists and artisans from Vermont of amazing talent and varied medium. Here are the artists jurying in for the months of May through July.

For the month of May metal worker John Marius will show several of his pieces. John refers to himself as a “metal fabricator” as he works with architectural metals such as steel, bronze, copper, brass, aluminum and cast iron. He makes his own molds and melts broken radiators to use the cast iron for his one-of-a kind furniture pieces.

Stained glass artist Becky Emet will showcase her stained glass pieces. Becky draws all of her own designs then cuts the pieces out in locally purchased Kokomo glass sheets. She then puts the glass pieces together in quilt-like pieces of art. Matthew Morris will share his pen and ink drawings that he does from outdoor sessions. He only does freehand as he “believes the tiny ‘errors’ give [his] work its unique feel and look.”

June will showcase mobile artist Patty Sgrecci and oil painter Bud Hewitt. Patty makes kinetic sculptures and mobile pieces. Patty’s works are created from hand painted papers, carved wood, wire, reed and other mixed media. She has been making kinetic sculptures out of mixed media for over fifteen years. The mobiles and sculptures are fun and full of visual energy.

Bud Hewitt is an oil painter whose paintings have a skewed perspective or what some people may refer to as “fish eye.” He uses amazing detail to show landscapes, buildings and cityscapes.

For the month of July we have photographer Kelly O’Neal. Kelly’s digital images are blurred to give the photos a painterly effect. Her technique is by “danc[ing] around while taking the images and experiment[ing] a lot.”

We encourage you to come in and check out these potentially new artists’ works!

Education

Educating Our Staff to Educate the Public. By Rob Hunter

One of the great challenges we face at Frog Hollow is the constant need to educate our staff on the process and backgrounds of close to two hundred different artists. We recognize that this is what separates us from other retail establishments along Church Street. Sometimes conveying an artist's story or personality is all it takes to tip the scales and make a sale. This was a topic of discussion at our recent annual meeting and a big focus of our gallery board of directors. It all boils down to how we can more effectively increase sales in the gallery.

In recent months, we have been asking artists who visit the gallery to take a few moments and speak to the staff about their work and process. It has been a great effort and one that has hopefully sparked increased engagement within the gallery between our staff members and the public. It seems to make sense that if a Gallery Assistant has the tools and resources to intelligently talk about the work in the gallery, then they will want to share that knowledge with the public at large.

By embracing this philosophy we have chosen to take the education process one, maybe two steps further. Two months ago we hosted a potluck/staff meeting in the gallery with our new gallery board president, Liz Lawrence. We asked the staff what tools we could provide in order to increase their effectiveness in the gallery. The universal response was to offer

misconceptions and answer questions regarding every aspect of the medium. In general, it was a rewarding evening, one which we all came away from with new knowledge and appreciation.

From this successful evening, we began planning for the next potluck. In an effort to coordinate with our upcoming jury, we selected metal as the theme. Our staff member who was assigned metal took up the mantel and organized several metal artists to join us for a Sunday brunch in the gallery -- before we open -- on May 18th. This will be followed by an off-site June 22nd Printmaking brunch.

Our overall hope is that these group events will engage both our staff and our artisan population, creating a venue where we can all learn more about the community of Frog Hollow.

11

In an effort to continue to raise awareness about our artisan population, and to help drive home the fact that an actual human being has created each and every item in the gallery, we are undertaking the slow process of upgrading our gallery displays with new artist gallery cards.

The new gallery cards will be for display in the gallery to alert visitors to the ideas and people behind the work that they are viewing Each gallery card contains a photo of the artist taken in our back “drop off” area for a uniform look. They contain the artist photo, a quote by the artist and a QR code to direct people to the Frog Hollow website to learn more about each artist through posted videos, photo essaysand general write ups.

If you are a Frog Hollow artist, on your next visit please plan on taking a moment for us to photograph you so visitors can start to put a face with your work!

More education on artisan processes. Going around the table, each of our Gallery Assistants identified which areas were strong and which were weak.

With this, we then assigned each staff member an area of weakness that they would in turn become our expert in. One medium was assigned to each individual. They were then tasked with learning more about their medium and assigned organizing future staff potlucks centered on that medium.

The result was a woodworking themed potluck the following month where jurying woodworker Kit Clark joined us to talk about himself and his medium. We found out about his background in forestry and horse powered logging with his uncle in Montana, as well as specifics regarding his choice of materials, finishes and design in his current body of work. The staff asked great questions and Kit was able to dispel several

Business Meeting convened at 1:55 after a potluck lunch

Brad Rabinowitz (Non-Profit Board President) opened the meeting with an explanation of the establishment of two FH boards: The Non- Profit Board - which is in charge of Education, Off-site Exhibits, Fund Raising and Membership For-Profit Board - which oversees the Gallery and making a profit.Both Boards are in need of more board members.

Financial Report - Rob Hunter (Executive Director)The gallery had a financial downturn, due to a number of reasons, one of which being the harsh winter weather. FH was down 5% for the holiday season in 2012 which continued into a 12% decline for 2013. Reorganization of staff, making cuts where needed has put FH on firm ground. The look of the gallery is improved with new floor and layout. Consumer confidence is building in 2014. A new restaurant is opening next door and other new businesses moving to our block will generate new traffic.400% increase in web sales in 2013 partly due to a search engine optimization grant from Google, which gives us $10,00/mo of optimization. Approaching other businesses to do a program like ARD.Developing Wedding and Gift Registries.

The following are the approved minutes from our 2014 Frog Hollow Annual Meeting. All documents referenced in the following minutes are available by request for all current members.

The Gallery is a business and needs to be treated as such. Liz met with sales staff over a potluck dinner and spoke of the need for focus and engagement with customers. The staff needs to be educated about the artists and craft processes. They also need stories about the artists to tell customers. Artists were asked to make it a point, when delivering work, to spend some extra time. Introduce yourself to the staff and tell them about your work and life. Each staff member will become an expert in a craft field, which will include a studio visit to one of the artist’s studios. They will report back to the rest of the staff to educate them. Gallery staff will coordinate monthly potlucks with artists in their given area of expertise talking about themselves and their work. Staff will be taking new photos of artists and integrating them into new name cards and bios with each artists work.

Partner SpotlightWorking With Frog Hollow

By Senator Patrick Leahy

Marcelle and I have always enjoyed the unique collections of Vermont artwork that can be found at Frog Hollow Vermont State Craft Center.  Marcelle and I proudly partner with Frog Hollow in bringing Vermont artwork to the Nation’s Capital to showcase in my office as part of our artwork loan partnership. 

Frog Hollow created a unique gallery space that allows talented Vermont artists to exhibit their work, and it is a pleasure to share their artwork when visitors stop by.   When someone pauses to admire a watercolor painting, hand-carved sculpture, or wheel-thrown pottery it makes me proud to know that they are admiring the artistry of Vermonter.   Being surrounded in my office by artwork from Vermonters is a constant and

welcome reminder of the communities that I represent.

When President Bill Clinton came to visit our state in 1991, I took him to the Frog Hollow gallery on Church Street.   I could not think of a better place to take him that highlights the artistic abilities and talent of Vermont artists.  And he was impressed.  

In Frog Hollow’s early years, Marcelle and I would often make the trip the flagship location in Middlebury to visit the gallery, near the falls on Otter Creek. In 1975, when it became the nation’s first state craft center, Marcelle and I celebrated this milestone and the living legacy of the many artists who have displayed their
