Call to Artists

The "Friends of the UVM Horticultural Farm" is inviting plein aire artists to join them during their yearly Bloomtime Festival on May 19. The Horticultural Farm is situated in South Burlington on a hill overlooking Lake Champlain. There are ponds, gently sloping meadows and forests to explore, as well as flower gardens, apple trees and rhododendron thickets.

"Bloom Time" celebrates the Hort Farm's lilac collection, which should be in full bloom in mid-May.

Twenty-five artists are invited to work on the grounds of the farm from 10 a.m. to two in the afternoon. This is a wonderful opportunity to visit an area that the public rarely sees. If you are interested contact Jane Neroni at Jane@altsystem.com. Due to parking restrictions at the farm only the first 25 artists who respond will be admitted. There will not be a waiting list. Directions to the farm and other pertinent information will be emailed immediately upon acceptance. Looking forward to seeing you there.
