Grafton Ponds Outdoor Center will kickoff its winter Biathlon series on Saturday, January 21. It is the only Biathlon course offered in southern Vermont. Our biathlon races are composed of a combination of Nordic skiing and target shooting (with safe laser guns). “Biathlon training helps to develop understanding and awareness of shooting skills, and helps teach the body how to calm itself after physical excursion,” explained Bill Salmon, Grafton Ponds Director. “That is a benefit to athletes at every level. It also adds another exciting element to cross country skiing.” Races will occur weekly, begining at 10 a.m. and are open to all ages and abilities. Cost will be $10 per person. Private course runs and groups are welcome with advance notice. More at graftonponds.com.

This exhibit will highlight the individual approach to narrative, form and function of group of ceramic artists who recently spent the week creating alongside each other in a symposium at the Arrowmont School of Art and Craft in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Emblematic of their process, though divergent in result, conscientious surface treatment is the common thread that carries through their work.

Marlboro senior Zach Parks presents a show of kinetic sculpture and drawing revolving around the theme of using mechanics as an artistic medium, where both artistic and technical methods constitute the process of making. Each sculptural piece is a functional machine, generally made from metal wire and other mixed media, and the drawings combine the use of nib pens and drafting tools. Zach’s Plan of Concentration focuses on art’s relationship to machines and technology, and his sculptures explore the notion of using machines and mechanical logic artistically.

Grafton Ponds Outdoor Center will kickoff its winter Biathlon series on Saturday, January 21. It is the only Biathlon course offered in southern Vermont. Our biathlon races are composed of a combination of Nordic skiing and target shooting (with safe laser guns). “Biathlon training helps to develop understanding and awareness of shooting skills, and helps teach the body how to calm itself after physical excursion,” explained Bill Salmon, Grafton Ponds Director. “That is a benefit to athletes at every level. It also adds another exciting element to cross country skiing.” Races will occur weekly, begining at 10 a.m. and are open to all ages and abilities. Cost will be $10 per person. Private course runs and groups are welcome with advance notice. More at graftonponds.com.

Marlboro senior Zach Parks presents a show of kinetic sculpture and drawing revolving around the theme of using mechanics as an artistic medium, where both artistic and technical methods constitute the process of making. Each sculptural piece is a functional machine, generally made from metal wire and other mixed media, and the drawings combine the use of nib pens and drafting tools. Zach’s Plan of Concentration focuses on art’s relationship to machines and technology, and his sculptures explore the notion of using machines and mechanical logic artistically.

Afro-Peruvian culture flourished in Peru, giving the world a unique musical tradition that blends Spanish, indigenous and African influences into a dynamic, percussive dance style with a character all its own. Emigrating from Lima to Connecticut in the 1980s and 1990s, the members of Negrura Peruana celebrate and perform the music and dance of Peru’s African population. The group combines vocals with percussion instruments such as the cajón (wooden box drum), the quijada de burro (jaw of horse), the campana (cowbell), bongos and guitars.

Boston artist Kathy King will talk about creating ceramic vessels, tiled furniture and prints that translate her own experience as a woman in relation to cultural perspectives on sexual orientation, reproduction and issues of the body and gender. Her imagery, reminiscent of an underground comic book style, uses satirical humor, irony and sarcasm to map her journey from pubescence to menopause. In addition to being an active studio artist, King is an instructor in ceramics for the Office of the Arts at Harvard and a visiting faculty in ceramics at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
