SEABA will stage its annual "Flamingo Fling" Silent Auction and Membership Meeting on June 12th, in Burlington’s South End. SEABA is seeking 60 artists to creatively decorate and reinterpret these iconic lawn ornaments designed fifty years ago by Don Featherstone. The original pink flamingo factory in Leominster, Mass., went out of business two years ago, and only recently have the flamingos been resurrected, making it possible for SEABA to bring back this popular event.

Chepe Cuadra’s "Fragmented Figure" is inspired from a monoprint course about which Chepe writes "Because of the technique’s exigency, the quick approach, the spontaneity one has to work the monoprint […] I found my self forced to brake my dry-point-etching plate getting as a result a Fragmented Figure..." In this body of work, Mr. Cuadra searches for an expression within the universe of the Human Figure. On display through May. Gallery regular hours: Monday – Friday 10 AM – 5 PM, or call to arrange a viewing.

With an extensive background in photography and ceramics, Wendy James’ most recent work explores oil paintings. With a BA in Art Education from Glassboro State College and almost thirty years of teaching art experience, her newest work creates "new worlds and dreamlike environments" where she alters drab city scenes into playgrounds of color. Wendy’s paintings will be on display March through May. Hours: Mon – Fri 6 AM – 10 PM, Sat – Sun 7 AM – 9 PM The Pine Street Deli 316 Flynn Avenue (at the corner of Pine Street and Flynn Avenue) (802) 862-9614
