What’s Happening at
BALE’s Community Space
On the Green in South Royalton
(35 South Windsor Street)

Hooked Rug Art Thru Mid-May
Don’t miss the work of Gisele MacHarg, amazing fiber artist from Royalton, at her exhibit on the walls of the BALE community space through mid-May, 2013. The exhibit, entitled “From The Past” is divided into three parts: Prehistoric Times, Medieval Days, and Impressionism. It is impressive to see the creation behind this old craft turned into a beautiful art form.

The opening reception with the artist is Friday, April 19 at 7 PM. The Black Krim Tavern will be catering the reception. BALE Space hours are usually weekdays from 1-5 PM, but call ahead to be sure we haven’t stepped out; 802-498-8438.

A Movie Night?
BALE is seeking a volunteer to coordinate a movie night at BALE, probably starting as once a month, but it could be more frequent depending on interest. We have access to many timely, new documentaries on the various issues facing our region, country and world. This project could even be split among a couple of folks. If you are interested in documentary film, community dialogue and engagement, contact Chris at chris@balevt.org.

Music Jam Night Now Thursdays
Every Thursday from 6:30 onward, all skilled and aspiring musicians are welcome. For more info, contact Jim at scrabblespoppy@gmail.com.
