The Silent Type
2026-06-05 13:00 - 2026-08-27 17:00 (America/New_York) | Mad River Valley Arts, 5031 Main Street #2 Village Square, Waitsfield, 05673
The Silent Type
June 5 – August 27 Reception: June 5, 5:30–7:00 PM
This summer, The Silent Type brings together artists and designers whose work explores the intersection of visual design, natural systems, and human culture. On view from June 5 through August 27, the exhibition examines how patterns, structures, and processes found in nature are translated into typography, sculpture, projection, materials, and spatial interventions.
Through layered forms of communication—including text, image, and three-dimensional design—the exhibition invites viewers to consider how visual language shapes perception, behavior, and collective understanding. Both playful and intentional, the works reveal the quiet ways design mediates our relationship with the natural world and with one another.
Featured artists include Tina Christensen, Leslie Fry, Michael Jager, Susan Smereka, and Elise Whittemore.
An opening reception will be held on June 5 from 5:30 to 7:00 PM. The public is invited to attend and experience an exhibition that reflects on the subtle dialogue between nature, design, and contemporary life.

Friday Night Show: Morality Demonology at B&P
2026-07-10 19:00 - 2026-08-21 20:00 | Bread and Puppet Theater, 753 Heights Rd, Montreal, Vermont, Glover, United States
Puppet show! Puppet show! Bread & Puppet will present an indoor performance each Friday this summer in the Paper Maché Cathedral. The show will premiere in June and continue to evolve over the course of the summer.
After the show Bread & Puppet will serve its famous sourdough rye bread with aioli, and Bread & Puppet’s “Cheap Art” – books, posters, postcards, pamphlets and banners from the Bread & Puppet Press – will be for sale.
Of the show, director Peter Schuman tells us that, “Puppeteers are in a state of high alert. The commanders-in-chief of reality are not only assassinating truth but have declared war on the innocent everything of the world. Morality demons claim divine origin, govern the population with unidentified power, and oppress shamelessly and unaccountably with history-honored illegality. Under and oversized puppets now battle the insufferable demons and the tricks of political mayhem. The world, unaware of its upside-down situation, must be confronted!”

2026-07-19 15:00 - 2026-08-30 17:00 | Bread and Puppet Theater, 753 Heights Rd, Montreal, Vermont, Glover, United States
“Is it or is it not?
Am I asleep or am I awake?
Am I a cockroach or am I a me?
Possibilitarians! We must demonstrate humanity’s upside-down situation in the face of the government’s depraved falsehoods. Luxury silence and despair must be replaced by revolt orchestras that radically oppose the radically wrong system.
It is time to unforget the revolution-in-progress and aim for the evermore on the universe’s shore.”
The one and only Bread & Puppet Circus is back to confront our upside-down situation! With stilt dancers, paper maché beasts of all sizes, and a riotous brass band, The Upside Down World Circus is an urgent spectacle of protest and celebration. Following the circus, starting around 4:30pm, a massive pageant will commence on the field. Side shows before the circus.
After each show Bread & Puppet will serve its famous sourdough rye bread with aioli, and “Cheap Art” – books, posters, postcards, pamphlets and banners from the Bread & Puppet Press – will be for sale.
Tickets to summer shows on the Bread & Puppet farm are $15, with no one turned away for lack of funds. Admission by donation upon arrival for kids 12 and under.
