Happy Spring!
Hard to believe, but it's finally here. The tulips seen above are adorning AVA's front walk, the sugar magnolia in Kira's Garden is in full bloom. And participants in Art Lab have hung recently created prayer flags among the wisteria on the patio. Hurray!
Please join us to celebrate the season with the arts.
Sincerely, ~The Board and Staff of AVA Gallery and Art Center |

The Neolithic World of Stone: From Gobekli Tepe to Stonehenge
A Free Slide Lecture by Bob Manning
Thursday, May 15, 7pm
Bob Manning--art historian, artist and professor emeritus of fine arts--has been lecturing for years on the Neolithic World of Stone. In 2012, he and his wife Libby toured Ancient Anatolia, which included a visit to the Stone Circles in Gobekli Tepe in Southern Turkey. These stone circles, which were discovered in 1993 and predate Stonehenge by 6,000 years, are noted for their low- and high-relief carvings of vultures, lions, snakes, bulls, scorpions and other creatures.
Manning has now incorporated his experiences and insights from that trip into a new program on Neolithic stone. His lecture with slides, made possible by support from the Vermont Humanities Council, will also cover Stonehenge and other important Neolithic monuments in Britain and Ireland.
Manning, who lives in Ryegate, VT, has been a member of the Vermont Humanities Council's Speakers Bureau since 2001. His paintings were exhibited at AVA in 1999, when he also delivered the lecture "The Megaliths: from Galway to Stonehenge to Orkney."
