The T.W. Wood Museum is excited to announce two new contemporary exhibits opening in October, 2026 that celebrate the work of New England artists.
On view in the Nuquist Gallery, Rain Enters My Diary is a collaborative installation curated by celebrated Vermont writer Howard Norman, and includes the artwork of several influential artists such as Jane Rosen, Anatole Kaplan, Gabrielle Dietzel, and David Bowie. The exhibit is in the form of catalogues, essays, public talks, and translations by Howard Norman that accompany individual pieces of the collection of photos, original drawings, and collages. All but a few were commissioned by galleries, museums, cultural centers, or personally requested by the artists themselves.
Housed in the Contemporary Hall, The Artist Next Door showcases the work of the Central Vermont Chapter of the Vermont Pastel Society, a group of local pastellists, who strive to uplift and connect local artists while encouraging pastellists to develop their skills through a variety of subjects and approaches. The Vermont Pastel Society is excited to share some of Vermont's rich artistic community at the T.W. Wood Museum in Montpelier.
