Join Next Stage Arts for the opening reception of METALSUM, a new exhibition by Putney artist Jane Kolias, on Saturday, August 29. Through inventive sculptures and vibrant metal quilts crafted from reclaimed materials—including vintage cookie tins and salvaged metal objects—Kolias transforms everyday discarded items into striking works of art that celebrate creativity, sustainability, and reinvention.

Meet the artist, explore the exhibition, and enjoy light refreshments while discovering a collection inspired by nature, craftsmanship, and the unexpected beauty of found objects.

METALSUM will be on view through November 8 in the Next Stage Gallery. The gallery is open during events and by appointment with the artist or by contacting Next Stage at info@nextstagearts.org or (802) 387-0102.
