Each portrait is intentionally crafted by local artists to connect viewers with climate farmers.  The artwork\, along with educational panels and quotes from artists and farmers\, help convey both the problems and solutions that climate change presents and provides an important platform for raising awareness. \nThe exhibition will continue outdoors where guests will find examples of approaches to improve climate resiliency at Billings Farm.  A few of the methods include rotational grazing of the dairy herd\, solar panel usage\, low or no-till fields with organic-only fertilizers. \nThis collaboration between Vital Communities and Billings Farm & Museum provides accessible ways for individuals to take meaningful action to help farms address climate change. \nTo learn more about the Vital Communities Climate Farmers Stories Project\, visit vitalcommunities.org/climate-farmer-stories. \n \nFind resources and more information about the Exhibition. \n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n Explore the connection between land\, labor\, and perspective. Through striking aerial imagery and intimate portraiture\, the exhibition invites visitors to see Vermont’s working landscapes in a new point of view. From above\, Vermont’s farms\, quarries\, and forests transform into unexpected geometric patterns\, vivid shapes and colors visible only from the sky. Yet every line and texture reflects generations of human work\, stewardship\, and care. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Grounded by portraits of the people who shape these places\, Kenna’s images spark a conversation about scale\, responsibility\, and presence. Each photograph offers a window into the evolving relationship between people and the natural world. From the expansive to the intimate\, the orderly to the wild\, these images ask essential questions: What changes when we shift our perspective?How do we understand the people and the processes that shape our landscapes?What role do we play in sustaining these places for generations to come?  \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n About the ArtistCaleb Kenna is a Vermont-based photographer known for his breathtaking aerial imagery and his ability to capture the character of people and place. Raised in Brandon and now living in Middlebury\, his lifelong connection to Vermont’s landscapes continues to shape his perspective.

These squares\, starting at 4 feet by 4 feet and up\, feature striking colors and simple geometric designs.  \nCollaborating with Vermont artists as well as artisans from the Chelsea Barn Quilt Project and Barn Quilts of Northern Vermont who have been working to highlight barn quilting in Vermont\, each space will host a uniquely crafted piece inspired by nature\, math\, agriculture\, and the history of the Billings Farm site. Guests can wander through the picturesque farm and take in the boldly painted patterns that will adorn historic barns and buildings. \nThis exhibition is included with admission. \n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n Explore the connection between land\, labor\, and perspective.

Guests can wander through the picturesque farm and take in the boldly painted patterns that will adorn historic barns and buildings. \nThis exhibition is included with admission. \n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n Explore the connection between land\, labor\, and perspective.

Each portrait is intentionally crafted by local artists to connect viewers with climate farmers.  The artwork\, along with educational panels and quotes from artists and farmers\, help convey both the problems and solutions that climate change presents and provides an important platform for raising awareness. \nThe exhibition will continue outdoors where guests will find examples of approaches to improve climate resiliency at Billings Farm.  A few of the methods include rotational grazing of the dairy herd\, solar panel usage\, low or no-till fields with organic-only fertilizers. \nThis collaboration between Vital Communities and Billings Farm & Museum provides accessible ways for individuals to take meaningful action to help farms address climate change. \nTo learn more about the Vital Communities Climate Farmers Stories Project\, visit vitalcommunities.org/climate-farmer-stories. \n \nFind resources and more information about the Exhibition. \n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n Explore the connection between land\, labor\, and perspective.

Each portrait is intentionally crafted by local artists to connect viewers with climate farmers.  The artwork\, along with educational panels and quotes from artists and farmers\, help convey both the problems and solutions that climate change presents and provides an important platform for raising awareness. \nThe exhibition will continue outdoors where guests will find examples of approaches to improve climate resiliency at Billings Farm.  A few of the methods include rotational grazing of the dairy herd\, solar panel usage\, low or no-till fields with organic-only fertilizers. \nThis collaboration between Vital Communities and Billings Farm & Museum provides accessible ways for individuals to take meaningful action to help farms address climate change. \nTo learn more about the Vital Communities Climate Farmers Stories Project\, visit vitalcommunities.org/climate-farmer-stories. \n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n Explore the connection between land\, labor\, and perspective. Through striking aerial imagery and intimate portraiture\, the exhibition invites visitors to see Vermont’s working landscapes in a new point of view.
