Reception: June 5\, 5:30–7:00 PM\nThis 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.\nThrough 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.\nFeatured artists include Tina Christensen\, Leslie Fry\, Michael Jager\, Susan Smereka\, and Elise Whittemore.\nAn 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.

Puppet show! Bread & Puppet will present an indoor performance each Friday this summer in the Paper Maché Cathedral.

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!” URL:https://madrivervalley.com/event/friday-night-show-morality-demonology-at-bp/ LOCATION:Bread and Puppet Theater\, 753 Heights Rd\, Montreal\, Vermont\, Glover\, United States CATEGORIES:Arts & Entertainment ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://madrivervalley.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Morality-Demonology-v1-2.png ORGANIZER;CN="Bread and Puppet":MAILTO:breadandpuppetreservations@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260719T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260830T170000 DTSTAMP:20260806T004406 CREATED:20260713T165408Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260713T165408Z UID:10056064-1784473200-1788109200@madrivervalley.com SUMMARY:The Upside Down World Circus at Bread & Puppet DESCRIPTION:“Is it or is it not?\nAm I asleep or am I awake?\nAm I a cockroach or am I a me? \nPossibilitarians! 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. \nIt is time to unforget the revolution-in-progress and aim for the evermore on the universe’s shore.” \nThe 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. \nAfter 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. \nTickets 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.

Sometimes you just want to ask something. Bring or pour a cup of your favorite warm beverage\, and join me at the Mad River Valley Welcome Center. Come as you are. All are welcome. And every question counts—simple\, complex\, or somewhere in between.  It’s a relaxed\, open conversation about money\, planning\, and whatever’s on your mind. Kassie Reid from Greenhill Financial Planners will be on hand to chat. \nEach quarter we’ll have a different theme to get the conversation going; \n\n\nMarch: A Fresh StartPour a cup and bring your thoughts and curiosities. The start of the year is a natural time to evaluate your goals and priorities\, capture momentum\, and plan for the year ahead. This space is designed to welcome everyone\, whether your questions feel simple\, complicated\, or somewhere in between. It’s a relaxed\, open conversation about money\, planning\, and whatever’s on your mind. \n\n\nMay: Summer PauseLonger days and shifting routines can make this time of year feel both energizing and full\, so before summer sweeps you away\, take a moment to pause. Bring whatever’s on your mind—upcoming plans\, changing expenses\, or simply a question you’ve been meaning to ask. This is a relaxed\, welcoming space to reflect\, recalibrate\, and talk through money decisions in a way that feels grounded and practical. Come as you are and join the conversation. \n\n\nAugust: Fall TransitionsAs the seasons shift\, so do routines and priorities. Settle in with something warm and join an open conversation about what this transition might bring—new schedules\, business cycles\, evolving goals\, or unexpected change. We could explore how these shifts connect to your financial life\, from cash flow to longer-term direction\, or wherever the discussion naturally leads. Bring your questions and curiosity. \n\n\nNovember: Year’s EndAs the year winds down\, it’s a natural time to reflect on what’s unfolded and consider what comes next. Gather your thoughts and join the conversation around year-end considerations—from giving and tax planning to tying up loose ends or preparing for January. This is a supportive place to organize your reflections\, acknowledge progress\, and make intentional decisions before the calendar turns. Wherever you’re at\, you’re welcome at the table.
