CALL for ENTRIES:  JURIED REGIONAL EXHIBIT
Library Arts Center |  June 11-Aug. 26
All artists residing in New Hampshire and Vermont are invited to submit up to two pieces to the jury for this annual favorite exhibit. This exhibit highlights the diverse and creative talent of the NH/VT region. Painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, photography and mixed media are welcome.

We'd love for you to "meet" the jurors for this year's exhibit:  Betsy Derrick + Jessica Gelter! 👋 

Betsy Derrick |  Professional Artist

Betsy is a long-time resident of Hanover and Croydon (seasonal) NH.  She received a BS in Studio Art from Skidmore College and has exhibited in New England and in France.  Inspiration comes from places she has visited, and has photographed, sketched, or painted in pastel, oil or water-based media. She uses these representational works as the foundation for later imaginary landscape and expressionist abstract paintings.

Jessica Gelter | Executive Director, Arts Alive!

Jessica is the Executive Director of Arts Alive! in the Monadnock region. She is a dedicated nonprofit leader with experience in community outreach, and program development and evaluation. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Boston University’s theater conservatory program, and a Certificate in Arts Management from the University of Massachusetts. She has been awarded two fellowships through National Arts Strategies: Forward Thinking Fellowship and New England Creative Community Fellowship. She is also a professional artist – and continues that work as a musician, playwright, actress, and theater director. She was featured on the National Endowment for Arts website for their 50th anniversary. Jessica lives in Brattleboro, Vermont, where she serves on her town’s Selectboard. She enjoys creative adventures with her husband James and daughter Evelyn, and loves coming home to their house full of furry friends.
