CONCERTS IN THE COURTYARDWe are pleased to announce that Bennington Museum has received an anonymous grant once more for 2025. Performances are free of charge. All events take place from 5-7pm. The Museum will also be open until 7pm on these days (regular admission applies). Please bring your own blankets or lawn chairs! Sage Pizza will set up shop in front of the Museum’s gates serving delicious pie. The Museum will serve beverages. In the event of rain, the event will be cancelled by 2pm on Fridays. Check our facebook page for updates. Museum educators will provide free children’s activities during Concerts in the Courtyard. Kids of all ages will find a fun makerspace at the picnic tables where they can create art based on art and objects featured in the Museum. Peter MulveyPeter Mulvey has been a songwriter, road-dog, raconteur and almost-poet since before he can remember. Raised working-class Catholic on the Northwest side of Milwaukee, he took a semester in Ireland, and immediately began cutting classes to busk on Grafton Street in Dublin and hitchhike through the country, finding whatever gigs he could. Back stateside, he spent a couple years gigging in the Midwest before lighting out for Boston, where he returned to busking (this time in the subway) and coffeehouses. Small shows led to larger shows, which eventually led to regional and then national and international touring. The wheels have not stopped since. Nineteen records, an illustrated book, thousands of live performances, a TEDx talk, a decades-long association with the National Youth Science Camp, opening for luminaries such as Ani DiFranco, Emmylou Harris, and Chuck Prophet, appearances on NPR, an annual autumn tour by bicycle, emceeing festivals, hosting his own boutique festival (the Lamplighter Sessions, in Boston and Wisconsin)… Mulvey never stops. He has built his life’s work on collaboration and an instinct for the eclectic and the vital. He folds everything he encounters into his work: poetry, social justice, scientific literacy, & a deeply abiding humanism are all on plain display in his art. In late January 2019, Mulvey and his band, SistaStrings (Chauntee & Monique Ross) with Nathan Kilen on drums, decamped to their home turf, the Cafe Carpe, in Fort Atkinson, WI where they spent just five days making two records in the tiny back room. The live record, “Peter Mulvey with SistaStrings Live at the Cafe Carpe” is out now on Righteous Babe Records. It’s a celebration of a world that is temporarily on hold: a small folk club, packed with listeners, and a band shoulder-to-shoulder, playing and singing with intimacy and abandon.

On Saturday, September 6th, the Bennington Museum Board of Trustees invites our Museum supporters to come together to review all the successes of Bennington Museum in fiscal year 2025 that you have helped to make possible. At this meeting, which is open to members and non-members alike, we will also present the Arnold Ricks Award to an individual in recognition of exceptional contributions to the Bennington community and Bennington Museum. About the Awardee This year we are pleased to honor a leader in the arts community, Joe Chirchirillo. Joe moved to Vermont 20 years ago and since then, he has focused on creating outdoor sculpture. Locally, his work can be seen on permanent display at Bennington Museum and in downtown North Bennington. Additionally, Joe has had his work shown in NBOSS for over 20 years and has been its curator for over 10 years. During this time the show has grown in size and popularity, bringing thousands of viewers to North Bennington each year. This year marks his last year in this role and he will be passing this torch to the next generation. “Joe’s deep connection with the Bennington Community and his drive to see NBOSS not only continue, but to thrive, have been tremendous in gathering and maintaining support for the arts in this community,” says Martin Mahoney, Executive Director of Bennington Museum. “We want to recognize and thank Joe for his willingness to collaborate and expand NBOSS during the pandemic which helped the Museum activate its grounds by encouraging guests to wander and interact with art and each other in a COVID-safe way. The program has been so successful that the Museum has continued this partnership and the NBOSS collaboration has become a visitor favorite at the Museum.” Suggested donations of $20 will support our exhibition and collection program so that we can continue to engage with contemporary artists, like Joe, and bring their work to the foreground in Southern Vermont.
