Faces of Vermont by Orah Moore
February 18 - March 28, 2020
Vermont seems to attract characters of character. In one form or another, for years, Orah Moore has been drawn to people living their lives with little artifice. As a photographer, she looks for opportunities to photograph people…as if she walked into their space and they just keep living, or working, or talking or considering.
Vermonters do a lot of “considering,” and are pretty dedicated to knowing themselves from the inside out. And they often do not conform to a set of rules, but rather work out their own rules and live close to those ideals. Orah Moore feels thankful that so many have let her in.
This journey continues.

Moments of Joy
by Caroline Tavelli-Abar
June 16 - July 25, 2020
These works share pieces of the artist’s journey when mental health became a priority and healing necessary.
To navigate bipolar disorder is at times like flying in a dense night fog. There are few lines to hold onto and the accompanying psychosis and catatonic state created a sometimes terrifying experience few words can express.
To heal from such experiences and to learn to love a new reality is the journey the artist took while creating these images.
Curved lines become anchors in space, an energetic and whimsical way to travel across the page.
Colors like pinks, yellows and intense reds further cement a sense of joyous mystery.
Nature helps heal as well, and the work fills with hints of flitting bird patterns, budding plants, stars, and galaxies; and seasons bring solace as smaller pieces play at intertwining winter, spring and summer.
The whole express a kind of exuberance; the kind of exuberance one finds after having confronted one’s own mortality, and manages to return from the brink with a renewed commitment to living.
Caroline Tavelli-Abar is a Swiss American artist, who after several years of travel exploring the United States moved to New York City, and later Vermont to continue exploring her creativity.

2020 Photography Shoot-Out
October 27 - November 25, 2020
This year’s theme is shadows – chosen by last year’s Shoot-Out winner, Orah Moore. Entries can be classic in nature where light is the key element. Entries can be black & white, in color, manipulated, layered or part of a mixed media piece – as long as the photograph is the majority element. Don’t go digging around in the shadows of your archives because a rule of this year’s theme is that your entry needs to have been captured or made between reading these rules and the entry deadline, which is Saturday October 17th.
Submit your entry to Axel’s Gallery and win a chance for a solo exhibition in 2021 plus other incredible prizes. Entries will be not only be judged by a small panel of professionals embedded in the art and photography world of Vermont but by your peers (a person who is equal to another in abilities and qualifications!).
