This summer baseball comes to Bennington with three wonderful exhibitions that will bring the history and thrill of America's past time to life. The triumvirate of exhibitions will be highlighted by a collection of memorabilia related to Joe DiMaggio, considered by many to be the greatest player in the history of baseball. Baseball in Vermont will bring things a little closer to home and explore the history of the game in Vermont and particularly Bennington. These two exhibits at the Bennington Museum will be complemented by the art of Mike Schacht, Hall of Fame Baseball artist, at the Bennington Center for the Arts.

Like Breath on Glass: Whistler, Inness, and the Art of Painting Softly
Forty beautiful paintings by James McNeill Whistler, George Inness, and other American artists working around 1900 come together for the first time in an examination the art of painting softly. As Whistler once stated, “Paint should not be applied thick. It should be like breath on the surface of a pane of glass.” The result of this counsel is a body of contemplative and meditative paintings that, like the mist of breath’s condensation on glass, appear on the canvas without evidence of the artist’s hand.

July 1 - October 26

The Understudy
Box office heroes and washed-up has-beens take heed: the play's almost the thing.

A Flea In Her Ear
Sexy mistresses and dashing suitors abound in this sensual and satirical romp through 1900's Paris.
