The Living Room

This fall and winter, we’ve temporarily transformed the museum’s East Gallery into a comfy space for visitors to hang out, read, chat, and enjoy rotating displays of community artwork. Relax. Enjoy!

In-Sight Photography Project Youth Photo Contest 2024
October 26 – December 15, 2024

In-Sight’s second annual Youth Photo Contest & Fair empowered young photographers to share their artwork with the community and professionals in the field. Photographers ages 11-18 living within an hour of Brattleboro were invited to submit images in a variety of categories. A jury of esteemed photographers, both local and national, selected the images to receive the top honors and awards.

Since 1992 In-Sight has been creating opportunities for youth to use photography as an expressive and technical medium for artistic and personal growth. This contest is an embodiment of In-Sight’s core values of belonging, community, and youth empowerment through the photographic arts.

Student Art in Response to Museum Exhibitions
December 18, 2024 – February 9, 2025

These works are inspired by the artwork in BMAC’s galleries, and were made during sessions at the museum or offsite in area classrooms. Students from several local schools, and other community groups have generously allowed their art to be included.

If you are interested in scheduling a tour, please contact Kate Milliken, Manager of Education Programs at kate@brattleboromuseum.org.
