Billings Farm & Museum is bringing the rural artistry of barn quilts to our scenic site from April 4 – December 1. Barn quilting recreates the concept of quilt squares on durable mediums such as plywood. These squares, starting at 4 feet by 4 feet and up, feature striking colors and simple geometric designs.
Collaborating 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.
This exhibition is included with admission.

This thought-provoking exhibition of 26 original artworks from the Vital Communities “Climate Farmers Stories” project will be displayed in Billings Farm’s Historic Barn from April 4 – June 23.
Through portraits in paint, print, fiber, and digital media, the works highlight the resiliency, creativity, and problem-solving abilities of farmers in the Upper Valley of Vermont and New Hampshire. 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.
The 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.
This collaboration between Vital Communities and Billings Farm & Museum provides accessible ways for individuals to take meaningful action to help farms address climate change.

The film was selected by the student organization and offers an opportunity for the community to come together in celebration of love, acceptance, and diversity.
The film follows the escapades of lavender-leaning aliens Zoinz, Zylar, and Barr, who descend from the planet Zots to Earth in a bid to save their endangered home. Their mission takes an unexpected turn when they find themselves entangled in the complexities of human romance. Set in New York City, the film delivers a blend of 1950s B-movie charm and contemporary romantic comedy.

Has charmed audiences worldwide since its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in 2011, earning rave reviews and being a beloved cult classic.” ~ Jeanette Catsoulis of The New York Times
