Vermont Public Community Calendar

Join Vermont sculptor Christopher Curtis for an engaging evening, "Ludique" (French for playful), exploring his unexpected collaboration with celebrated Parisian chef Pierre Hermé.

Curtis will share the story behind this transatlantic partnership, sparked by his stone “Puzzle” series and culminating in a bespoke French chocolate collection, including the striking nine-pound sculpture Dialogue des Formes, directly inspired by one of his works.

His talk will explore themes of play, composition, and material transformation, illustrated with images of his works in private collections and public spaces across the United States. Advocating art (and chocolate) as sources of pleasure, he hopes to encourage attendees to explore their own relationship to art and the role it can play in enriching their lives.

The evening will conclude with a tasting of the Parisian chocolate artwork, paired with champagne. Free; reservations required.

There will be special and little known collections from the library displayed throughout the library. Make sure to visit each one as answers to some trivia questions are within each display.

A special trivia hosted by Trivia Buzz starts at 8pm! Gather your co-workers, friends and neighbors to work together or play against them to show off who is smarter once and for all! There will be 5 rounds of trivia, fun and laughter.
