Burlington City Arts kicks off art, concert, film series Friday
BURLINGTON, Vt. (ABC22/FOX44) – Cool jazz and cool art will be only two of the many ways for Burlingtonians to keep cool this summer.
Summer in the City, a 'summerlong celebration of downtown arts and culture', will be starting June 6. The artistic series will include concerts, dances, and film showings at City Hall Park, special art exhibits at the Burlington City Arts (BCA) center on Church Street, and some special new events like the Twilight Block Party series, which will combine music and vendors with the Vermont sunset over Lake Champlain.
The first day's events on Friday will include a concert by jazz-folk band Andrew Richards Quartet at 12:30 p.m., a dance with DJ Richie Conte at 4:00 p.m., and the season opening reception at the BCA center at 5:00 p.m.. This will be followed by more events Saturday and then throughout the summer. A full listing of events is on the BCA website.
Burlington Jazz Fest promises a musical journey around the world
On display at the beginning of the season at the BCA Center will be two contrasting art exhibits, Animation as Art, which features animated film shorts on 'themes ranging from housing instability to game design,' and Jacob Hashimoto: a lowercase sky, which combines traditional kite-making, collage, and papercraft.
