Out for a stroll with "Green Umbrella," by Kate Donnelly

Hi, art-loving friends! Welcome to our newest series on Live Culture. Joining Playtime, Style Points, Special Collections and others, meet the First Friday Roundup.


Each month, we'll showcase a few of the First Friday art shows and events we're especially excited about  in Burlington and beyond. And we'll include a suggestion for a musical performance to top off your night — maybe even a great bar for a cocktail or casual drink.

As it happens, the Seven Daysies awards party is this Friday at ECHO, the Leahy Center for Lake Champlain, in Burlington. But what follows is what we would do if we weren’t going there.

Vermont will be taking no part in mumblecore™ — at least not according to ClickHole. Yesterday, the Onion's delightfully irreverent content platform posted the piece, "Supporting the Arts: Vermont Is Offering a Tax Credit to Incentivize Indie Filmmakers to Stay the Fuck Out of Its State With That Bootleg Duplass-Brothers-Rip-Off Bullshit."

The title pretty much lays it all out, but it's a great full read anyway, especially if you get thrills every time you see the word "Vermont" in a major outlet, real or otherwise.
