About
the Village Green Gallery
The husband and wife team of Nobushi
and Annie Fuji'i have combined their talents to create the Village Green
Gallery in Weston, VT. "We wanted
to fill a niche in the local business landscape and created a gallery
and community gathering place for residents and visitors alike," says
Mrs. Fuji'i.
Featuring the photography of Fuji'i and showcasing works by selected
Vermont artists and artisans, the cozy white-framed building next to the
Vermont Country Store offers a place for visitors to savor fine art as
well as to socialize. The main display is devoted to Nobushi's Exquisite
Vermont images, an ongoing work-in-progress, designed to bring a Japanese
aesthetic to Vermont's landscape and capture its beauty from a fresh perspective.
In addition, the gallery displays the work of other area artists and
artisans, including ceramists, weavers, woodworkers and jewelry makers.
Going forward, the Fuji's plan to host shows and demonstrations to introduce
new artists and educate people about the techniques and concepts behind
the finished work they see.
Committed to making the gallery an integral
part of Weston community life, the Fuji'is have established the Weston
Film Club, dedicated to monthly viewings and discussions of acclaimed
foreign and independent films. The gallery is also home to a book club.
At the Village Green Gallery, visitors
to Weston and residents alike can find a comfortable chair to relax in,
check their e-mail via wireless high-speed internet, sip a cup of specialty
coffee by Mocha Joe's of Brattleboro, and enjoy fine pastries made by
local chef, Christina LaRue.
Come visit the next time you're in Vermont and experience this wonderful
art-filled and community centered gathering place.
