“My jewelry work is all about color and texture. More about surface design than metalsmithing, though metalsmithing is, of course, a big part of it, I’m always on the lookout for new ways to add color and texture to the metal. Me and the metal: we work together, we communicate. I work in several different metals and combinations of metals using metalsmithing techniques, patinas, dyes, colored pencils, and anodizing. This creates an abundance of possibilities.” -Judi Forman

About the Working Artist Program

The goal of the Working Artist Program is to provide artists with an affordable space to complete a project, explore a new body of work, gain exposure and sales, or prepare for a solo show. Visitors to the Gallery now also have a unique chance to engage with an artist as they create their art. The public is welcome to come in to learn about and experience the process of art making. By offering a working and exhibiting space which is open to the public, with new artists every one to three months, the program contributes opportunities for dialogue, events, and classes to the community. 

The Working Artist Program is open to all artists with priority for local artists. Working Artists are expected to interact with gallery visitors, discuss their artwork, process and practice, and answer questions. Artists process their own sales and curate their own space. Upon completion of the program, artists present a self-curated solo show within their space to coordinate with a Bellows Falls 3rd Friday Gallery Night event.
