the bennington center for the arts印象

While we were visiting Bennington we happened to be timed perfectly for the exhibit after a 5-day plein-air event of artists from all over the country. We loved the art and time chatting with the artists who shared interesting stories about their paintings.

Avoid this place completely if you are a performing artist, and consider discontinuing your support of the 'organization' if you understand that performers often count on gigs to support their families. The place books well in advance, fails completely in promotion, then cancels the event at the last minute with no ownership of a mistake or compensation of any kind for the artists. Community arts could really do without this kind of operation.

One side of the museum was devoted to fine art display and the other side was devoted to the history of the covered bridge. There was a show of the juried exhibit for the Oil Painters of America. This was excellent and we got to vote for our favorite painting. The covered bridge section was quite interesting but someone on the staff was giving a couple a private tour of the museum while we were there. It made it difficult for anyone else to hear the exhibit.

This is a gem of an art gallery! The show of the National Oil Painters of America and the wildlife art exhibit were terrific, and the gallery asked for a vote on best painting, which made it even more fun. The Eric Sloane's in the Covered Bridge Museum there were also wonderful.

We just happen to visit while the National Oil Painters of America Exhibition was being shown. It was unreal. Their Center is huge, it's laid out perfect. Elevators are available. They have a very nice permanent collect that matches their shows. We absolutely loved the place!

A very enjoyable afternoon in Bennington; easy parking, friendly staff and an...eclectic collection of art.

For a smaller venue stuck in a rural setting, the Bennington CA is really a gem, nicely polished. This OPA annual show is well displayed in several of their galleries, and other than a few hanging miscues, done very nicely. I can say that the varied room lends itself well to breaking up the show to avoid monotony, and lighting in most cases is well used to enhance color and value of the works. A few dead zones that perhaps couldn't be avoided and a few pieces hung either too low for the lighting used or next to works that just clashed, but overall a show over 200 pieces is bound to have a couple distractions. I especially loved several of the near impressionistic works, and the jury panel should be commended for pulling a wide breadth of work type and theme. It's not all still life, florals, and portraits! Bravo! BCA staff are very friendly and helpful, so give them kudos for opening on a hot Monday morning right on time. The other exhibits include the Covered Bridge Museum, Native American art, animal art and carvings, and a small works exhibit that was very enjoyable itself!

In an area with so many other art resources, paying $9 admission for this gallery makes no sense. Go to the Clark, MassMoCA, or the Williams College Art Museum instead.

Our second time here. This time we skipped the covered bridge section and stuck to the arts section. Enjoyed the fine works very much. See the website for current exhibitions. Well worth $9 for a couple of hours of fine and interesting art.

Bruce usually writes but I'm his wife......Thoroughly enjoyed the variety of galleries to view. Went to see the covered bridge exhibit and the carved birds, both were very good. In addition saw art, sculptures, quilts, hat boxes, miniature rooms etc. I'm wheelchair bound but all levels were accessible via small open lift. Well carpeted throughout which my husband told me later was more of an effort to push me round but nice for the normal visitor I'm sure.
