Summer-Long 'Used Art' Treasure Hunt: S.L.U.A.T.H. (Annually)

Spend summer scavenging through boot, estate, garage, jumble, moving, rummage, tag, & yard sales; bazaars; flea markets; roadside free piles; swap meets; whole-house cleanouts; etc to find the best work of art at the best price. Both "best"s are subjective. At summer's end, we'll hold an art "show & tell" (see companion event below)! S.L.U.A.T.H. has a reputation for being an engrossing challenge, & you might be surprised by what you learn about yourself. It is also an 'event' you can take part in with as much social distance as you prefer.

• The S.L.U.A.T.H. Guidelines.
• Register by emailing info@wooo.tv with the message, "I wanna be a S.L.U.A.T.H.!" (To anticipate & manage how many pieces we will have for display, please: NO PARTICIPATION WITHOUT REGISTRATION. (Yes, you can join on the fly/mid-summer; yes, you can drop out if you don't find anything.)
• Depending on the number of S.L.U.A.T.H.s out there, & who S.L.U.A.T.H.s successfully, it is OK to keep hunting as there may be exhibit space for more than one piece per person.

Saturday October 8 2022 @ 11:00am (Special Event!)

'Used Art' Opening & Reception @ Espresso Bueno, 248 N Main St in Barre VT

This is a free, open-to-the-public, crowdsourced-art opening & show! For the past three months, Summer-Long 'Used Art' Treasure Hunters—or S.L.U.A.T.H.s—have been busy hunting art and will display the best works of second-hand or cast-off art they found, according to their own taste & aesthetic. S.L.U.A.T.H.s may share tales of their conquests, we can vote on our favorite pieces, & some of the art may be offered for sale. (The Used Art Show will hang in Bueno through mid November.)

• The S.L.U.A.T.H. Guidelines.
• Bueno is open from 8:00am to 2:00pm on Saturday, food & beverages available for purchase, some art may be available for purchase.
• Attendance at the art opening is not mandatory to S.L.U.A.T.H. If you found art but are unable to attend the opening, just make certain you get your art to Lovejoy before 10/03/22 for inclusion in the exhibit (email info@wooo.tv to coordinate).

The Hunger Mountain Climb @ the Rumney Memorial School, 433 Shady Rill Rd in Middlesex VT (Annually)

In its nearly 50-year history, nothing has ever canceled this event: Not snowstorms, not bare ground, not pandemics. Bring things to snack on & sip on, and a shot of brandy is offered to adults at the summit. Young children, dogs, and the person lugging the brandy have all made it to the top, but people go at their own pace. Climbers can also go as far as they like and turn around when they like: You do not have to summit (unless you really want the brandy). If you wear snow pants, you can slide down on the descent here & there, which is great fun!

• The Hunger Mountain Climb.
• Meet in the Rumney School parking lot at 9:00am.
• Snowshoes recommended; 3,540-foot climb; ~10-kilometer round trip; you will be home soaking in a tub of Epsom salts circa 2:30pm.
