Vermont Institute of Contemporary Arts March Schedule of Events

The Mysterious Mind
Through the end of June
The Mysterious Mind is an exhibit of visual art and sculpture that speaks directly to the sub-conscious soul through the insights of Jungian depth psychology. Four extraordinary New England artists exhibit archetypal images whose meanings may be understood mostly by our intuitive and instinctual selves. We learn to understand the meanings of these provocative visual symbols that are put before us. Come join us at VTica to discover a new way of seeing for yourself in visual symbols. On exhibit through the end of June.

Projections: Reel to Real Conversation
Friday, March 15th, 7pm
Happy will be viewed, followed by a stimulating discussion with conversationalist John Bliss. Does money make you happy? Kids and family? Your work? Do you live in a world that values and promotes happiness and well-being? Are we in the midst of a happiness revolution? Roko Belic directs a documentary that sets out to answer these questions and more. Taking us from the bayous of Louisiana to the deserts of Namibia, from the beaches of Brazil to the villages of Okinawa, Happy explores the secrets behind our most valued emotion. Jon Bliss, M.A., is a husband, father, farmer, avid cyclist and conversationalist who lives in Andover, VT. Trained in ministry at The Yale Divinity School, he presently leads the congregation at The Old Parish Church in Weston, VT. $10 donation suggested.
