'Nine by Nine'

Frog Hollow Vermont Craft Gallery in Burlington displays nine ceramic tiles created by nine Vermont-rooted female artists, marking the culmination of a collaborative effort organized by artist Irene Lederer LaCroix. “Having known these women as both friends and artists,” she says, “I was inspired to bring together their varying perspectives and backgrounds in art to create a unified but dynamic piece highlighting the diversity and power of women in the arts.” Other participating artists are Heidi Broner, Sally Duval, Wendy James, Carol MacDonald, Dianne Shullenberger, Ellen Spring, Daryl Storrs and Ulrike Tessmer. The tiles will be sold at a closing auction on May 31 at 6 p.m., with 100 percent of sales benefitting Vermont Works for Women.
