Check out this first installment of “Fleming Wants to Know” with Seth and Sam, two of our content and communications assistants! They wanted to hear from guests at our Spring 2026 Kickoff Party, “What is the first word you think of when you think of the Fleming Museum of Art?”

Not sure about tonight’s Blood Moon, but we do have a “Blue Moon.”
 
Did you know that our Belonging gallery celebrates Toshiko Takaezu by displaying a group of her closed vessels in the middle of the gallery. As a Hawai’ian-born Japanese American, and a woman artist who challenged traditional distinctions between craft and art, Takaezu occupied a marginal position in the male-dominated art world. Today she is widely recognized for her innovations in art and teaching. In fact, Takaezu gave these works to the Fleming through her former apprentice Hoyt Barringer, a UVM alum, who now teaches ceramics at the University.

Wilson A. Bentley (United States, 1865-1931) and George William Perry (United States, 1846-1928) “Lantern Slides of Snow Crystals (Snowflakes)”, 1915-1916. Glass lantern slides. Gift of George A. Perry 1962.26
