Reception: January 17, 5:30-7pm

ZERO CELSIUS unfolds at Mad Arts and Sugarbush Resort, bringing together artwork that explores the textures, tensions, and transformations of winter. From the hush of frozen landscapes to the volatility of a warming climate, the exhibition reflects on how the cold season shapes—and is reshaped by—human and environmental relationships.
Featuring sculpture, installation, sound, photography, and digital media, ZERO CELSIUS examines winter as material, concept, and metaphor: crystalline, fleeting, and ecologically vital. Visitors are invited to consider the fragility of snow in a changing world, reconnect with winter’s wonder and silence, and share their own stories of a season both timeless and increasingly imperiled.

A musical melodrama written by NEYT founder Stephen Stearns and the beloved Brattleboro folk music icon Peter Amidon, Jack and the Devil's Three Golden Hairs is a mishmash of Brothers Grimm and classic vaudevillian stage antics! A conniving King attempts to thwart his daughter's prophesied marriage to Jack, a penniless peasant. But every measure he takes just makes the fated prediction seem more certain... until he comes up with a foolproof plan: Give Jack the impossible task of fetching three of the Devil's hairs from the depths of the underworld itself! Surely that could never be achieved... right?
