Beginning in September 2020, Studio Place Arts started collaborating with its neighbor, the AR Market with this simple idea:
Local Food + Local Art = Happiness
ARTE at AR shares the talents and perspectives of artists around our region. These art shows are changed on a loose quarterly basis.
Studio Place Arts (SPA) is a non-profit, regional art center. SPA has an active schedule of at least 4 exhibits that change every 6-7 weeks throughout the year, artist studios, and educational programs.
With ARTE at AR just a few steps away from SPA, there are 5 high-quality art exhibits on view in downtown, historic Barre at the same time. This connects well with the Art Stroll, another project of SPA, which provides a self-guided tour of historic and contemporary stone sculptures made in Barre.
We look forward to your visits!

“It’s the lunch hour in this blue-collar town and there is a steady stream of people entering the AR Market in Barre to pick up a quick sandwich or snack. At the counter, a customer rests their cold beverage on the ledge and casts a glance at the vibrant art show that is part of a series presented by Studio Place Arts (SPA) called “ARTE at AR (Alimentari Roscini).”
The current exhibit, “Getting There from Here,” features work by Vermont artists Ann Young and James Vogler. Young includes large paintings of New York City’s subway system and the people who rely on the steady, rhythmic movement of train cars moving from one stop to the next. Vogler’s vivid graffiti-style abstract paintings are scattered playfully along the long, windowed walls of the AR Market, which resemble the linear feeling of a public transit station…”
