Farm2Art Programming at the Clemmons Family Farm

Picture
​Indoor and outdoor multi-cultural events at the historic Barn House feature African-American diaspora and multicultural performance arts, visual arts, lectures, presentations and retreats-- by and for artists, photographers, writers and musicians. We prioritize showcasing the creative and scholarly work of exceptional African-American and African artists or other artists whose work celebrates the African diaspora. Our collaborating artists are all members of the Vermont African-American/African Diaspora Artists' Network which is coordinated and supported under our mission to empower Vermont's Black artists.

All rooms on the main floor and upper level feature beautiful exposed wood beams that are hand-hewn and hundreds of years old. Video by Jay Bouey.

Above: Pop-up events at the historic Barn House offer a magical setting for visitors to learn about and discuss other cultures.  At a winter pop-up event, members from a Maasai tribe in Kenya gave a presentation about their culture. ​​

The outdoor event featured a number of talented Vermont poets and an audience of 90 people, including the elders, Jack and Lydia Clemmons, enjoying the Farm's organic meadows and Adirondack Mountain views. 
Above: This 5-minute multi-media slideshow overview of present and future artistic works at the Clemmons Family Farm was part of our submissions to ArtPlace America's 2017 National Creative Placemaking Fund grant competition. The Clemmons Family Farm and its partners' A Sense of Place project was one of 23 projects that won the competition among nearly 1000 applicants nation-wide. This prestigious grant was awarded in January 2018 and ran through June 2020 to rapidly enhance our African-American and African diaspora arts and culture programming.
