Marlboro Remainders exhibit opening reception

exhibit statement from Lindy Whiton:

The original idea for this gallery show came from the realization that fellow alumni from Marlboro College were beginning to retire and to return to their artistic passions. Many of us worked jobs that incorporated our creativity, but retirement was going to allow us to focus on our art. I reached out to a group of my old buddies and asked them if they would like to have a joint show and to let the world know that we were still doing our Marlboro best.

Marlboro College was retired, too, to the horror of many of us in the community. We went to Marlboro because of our independent spirits, our desire for a smaller more collaborative and democratic campus and an attention to creative curricula, which were more demanding but more able to embrace our idiosyncratic learning styles.

Marlboro Remainders illustrates that Marlboro is still with us, still teaching “us to think.” We are all still in contact, to one degree or another, and the strength of our bond is like the strength of our education. We honor Marlboro College. Here is a collection of multiple visual art genres, with no particular theme other than a shared education 40 to 50 years ago.

Come join us and see how education has directed us in ways we may have never guessed. Come meet the artists at a reception on Saturday, June 7, 11:30am-2pm. The show will stay up for the month of June. Items will be for sale and information about the artists will be available.
