Helen
Day Art Center's sixth Annual Home Tour
opens the doors to four distinctive Stowe
area homes. This year we are featuring a
well-known house designer's home tucked
into the woods, a newly renovated home
with drop dead views of Mt. Mansfield and
two distinctive homes near Stowe Country
Club.
 Milford
Cushman, principal of The Cushman Design
Group lives with his wife, Terri Gregory,
a renowned pottery artist, in their house
named "Raven Beach". Milford built the
original dwelling with his own hands in
the mid 1980's. Originally a 900 square
foot cottage tucked perfectly among the
tall trees, the couple have added on
throughout the different phases of their
lives and subsequently their home has
grown slowly to perhaps 1200 square feet.
Sited discreetly into their own niches on
the property are found a two story studio
where Terri produces her beautiful ceramic
pieces with a painting studio above for
Milford, an outbuilding appropriately
named the Bahama House, and a boat house
for Terri's kayak and Milford's canoes.
Land and land preservation is very
important to this couple and the home and
its outbuildings have been sighted around
the natural landscape rather than visa
versa.
 Two
of this year's homes are newly built in
the Stowe Club neighborhood of Stowe. This
neighborhood is near Stowe Country Club
and is privately situated yet only minutes
from the conveniences of Stowe's Mountain
Road. One house is a quiet oasis at the
end of a road. The house draws you in from
the minute you start down the driveway.
The owner's lovely gardens and amazing
rock walls surround this beautiful
traditional styled house. The open layout
and sweeping views are a perfect setting
for entertaining and family
gatherings.
The
second home in Stowe Club is sighted high
above the first hole of Stowe Country
Club. It is a gorgeous newly built
Craftsman styled home with great attention
to detail. The wide open great room
features a Western fir ceiling and super
Southerly views of the mountains and
valleys of the Stowe area. The owners own
Simple Home: a home technology company
that specializes in home theater, whole
house music and "smart home" installations
(home automation, lighting control,
security and various systems that can be
controlled remotely - Think of turning up
the heat in your vacation house on your
drive up.) The heart of such systems are
usually hidden but in this house we'll
show you how it's done.
 High
above Stowe, in Stowe Hollow is this newly
renovated home. The drive up to this house
takes you on some of Stowe's quiet back
roads. As you climb up the hills of Stowe
Hollow you arrive at this inviting home
with amazing views of Mt. Mansfield. The
owner's extensive gardens, rock walls, and
boulder walls lead you into an inviting
courtyard. The owners of this home are
avid art collectors. Their wonderful
assortment of art include: paintings,
pottery and cherished collectibles from
their travels. Older paintings mingle with
modern art and interesting glassware, add
in some Art Deco touches and you have a
wonderful eclectic mix.
The
Helen Day Art Center Home Tour runs from
10:30 AM to 3:30 PM, on Saturday September
the 15th, 2007 and is self-guided.
Included in the price is a light lunch, by
Thompson's Flour Shop, served at the Helen
Day Art Center. Lunch will also be
available "To Go". Participants are
welcome to view the current exhibit:
Nature Remains: The Artist as
Environmentalist.

Helen Day Art Center names
River
Arts of
Morrisville for its 2007 Annual Arts
Award!
Lois
Eby, Trustee at HDAC said it best in her
presentation at HDAC's Annual Meeting in
February where she presented the award to
Joanne Harrison, chair of the River Arts
Board, Steve Ames, Executive Director, and
Dawn Andrews, Treasurer:
It's
my great pleasure to announce the 2007
recipient of the Helen Day Art Center's
Annual Arts Award: River Arts. Arising out
of a Morristown community forum in 1999,
and with offices located in Morrisville,
River Arts has grown since its founding to
collaborate with over 20 organizations and
to serve over 4,000 people each year, not
only in Morristown but throughout Lamoille
County.
The
mission of River Arts is to enrich the
community through the arts, building on
the core belief that art is for everyone.
In 2003 On the Rise, whose goal is youth
empowerment through the arts, merged with
River Arts. Together River Arts and On the
Rise offer a wide range of arts
experiences to elementary, middle school
and high school students, and to adults of
all ages. A visit to the River Arts
website at www.riverartsvt.org gives one a
good introduction to their many offerings,
from video animation to painting and
sculpture to tap dancing and from several
different summer arts camps to poetry
workshops for adults.
River
Arts purchased the Lamoille Grange in
Morrisville in 2005 and is 2/3 of the way
toward its goal of raising $783,000 for
renovations and for seeding an
endowment.
With
this award Helen Day recognizes and honors
the achievement of all involved in forming
River Arts, in its joining with On the
Rise, and in their many contributions to
the arts in our community. The steady
growth of programming and vision of this
multifaceted and multigenerational
organization makes it also multi-amazing.-
