southern Vermont to report on their burgeoning art auctions in the 1930s , his article in The New York Times had a considerable ripple effect on the artistic scene in Vermont and beyond . Do you believe that For the Love of Vermont : the Lyman Orton Collection is a continuation of that same metaphoric ripple of cultural expansion for the Vermont arts community ?
A : Many of the artists that are present in the collection were original members of the Southern Vermont Artists , who exhibited their works together in the early 20th century here in Southern Vermont . This is the first time since then that a large group of works by those same artists is being shown together at an exhibition of this scale in Vermont . It ’ s amazing to have these artworks back in Vermont , and it ’ s a nice , full-circle moment . I believe the artists that became well-known as Vermont artists came up to Vermont because they wanted to have an experience that was very different from what one would find in a city .
