Town Hall Art Project
Art in the Town Hall is a collaborative project between the Town of Jericho and a committee of volunteers involved in the arts. Started in 2010, the purpose of the project is to enhance the visibility of our art community through a series of exhibits at the Jericho Town Hall. Through a generous grant from the Vermont Community Foundation, a gallery hanging system has been installed at the Town Hall to accommodate the planned exhibits. Once a theme has been chosen, a call to artists will be posted and submissions will be reviewed by the committee.

Marcia Rosberg Retrospective
CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.RETROSPECTIVE: The Works of Marcia Rosberg
Currently showing at the Jericho Town Hall is a retrospective of the work of Jericho artist Marcia Rosberg (1936--2021). Marcia was a long time resident of Jericho moving here in 1967. She had been an artist for an even longer time. Marcia often participated in the Town Hall art shows and we were glad when her family agreed to a showing of her work that spanned her career. Pieces are representative of her early years and up to the present.
Marcia considered herself a self taught artist with a lifetime of drawing and painting experience. But she also expanded her skills with classes from UVM and participated in the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson. She has exhibited extensively through out Vermont and received a number of awards.
