Kent Museum "Backstory" | Summer 2018

The Kent Museum in Calais, Vermont, is a home dating from 1823, later a tavern, that is owned by the State of Vermont. It is used as an exhibition space for the month of September each year, presenting work by Vermont artists in an extraordinary historic interior, with plaster walls, old paint, exposed lathe, and gorgeous, peeling, antique wallpaper.
