Through September 20: In celebration of the quadricentennial anniversary of French explorer and cartographer Samuel de Champlain’s travels to the lake that bears his name, the Fleming Museum is organizing “A Beckoning Country: Art and Objects from the Lake Champlain Valley”. For thousands of years, Lake Champlain has drawn people to its shores and to the land it nourishes. “A Beckoning Country’ examines the features of the Champlain Valley landscape through the objects and art created from and inspired by them. Organized around a geological and natural history framework—water, earth, flora, and fauna—the exhibition will include both pre- and post-European contact material, such as stone tools, maps, furniture, textiles, and baskets, as well as paintings and drawings that depict and celebrate the region’s physical landscape.

Through May 10: “Objects of Power”. Curated by the students of the University of Vermont’s museum anthropology seminar, this exhibition draws from the Fleming Museum’s permanent collections and explores how power and identity can be expressed and transmitted through material culture.

Through May 10: “More Than Bilingual: William Cordova and Major Jackson”. Although Peruvian-born visual artist William Cordova and African-American poet Major Jackson come from divergent backgrounds, both artists find inspiration and common ground in music, literature and the urban aesthetic. The fluency with which they navigate cultural signifiers and media, results in a shared visual multilingualism. The two artists have long admired one another’s work; the Fleming Museum is pleased to bring them together in a collaborative venture for the first time.
