Art at the Kent

Contemporary Art at an Historic Site

Art at the Kent’s 2026 exhibition, Throughlines, hosts the work of 20 contemporary Vermont artists within an iconic historic site, running from September 11 through October 11, on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays from 10:00 – 5:00.

In Throughlines, marks made in one medium evoke rich relationships with those made in another, deepening the viewer’s appreciation for resonance. Throughout the Kent, with its own storied patina tying the present to the past, the connections made between art and building and visitor echo the ties between time and place and community as our audience discovers a unique sense of shared roots and different perspectives. Creative expression becomes a throughline for appreciating life’s odysseys, preserving a sense of possibility, and navigating the way forward.
