571 Projects Art gallery, Independent curator and art consultancy We are open by appointment only. Contact us at 802.881.0418 or [email protected] to enquire.

571 Projects supports the work of dynamic emerging and mid-career artists by bringing conceptually strong, well-crafted work to the notice of an engaged art going and collecting public, via independent curatorial practice. We are dedicated to the careful curation of a thoughtful selection of artists, and to nurturing curiosity and contemplation in our collectors and art enthusiasts. In addition, we welcome and encourage the public to engage with art and exhibitions at our micro gallery, located at 56 Park Street, Stowe, Vermont. Founded by Sophie Bréchu-West, an alumna of Christie’s Education with a Master’s in Contemporary Art and Connoisseurship, 571 Projects opened its doors as a boutique gallery in New York City's Chelsea in October 2009, housed in an old warehouse affectionately called Cold Castle. When the building was slated for demolition in 2012, the program became nomadic. Settled in Stowe, Vermont since 2015, 571 Projects continues to build a community through special projects. A deep, lifelong love of art and a desire to promote the work of significant, and at times overlooked, emerging artists drives her curatorial and consulting practice.

The sky’s the limit on Berta Burr’s ability to elevate your mood with the effervescent “5/4”! In her skyscapes, Burr’s masterful brush conjures the shapes, colors, textures, and nuances of the endless and ever-shifting combinations of light and water v***r that float above us. Explore more of Burr’s expansive work on our website, and don’t be surprised if you find yourself levitating with joy.

As twilight arrives earlier here in northern Vermont, we always turn to Matilde Alessandra’s elegant work to remember the elemental power of the ever-shifting balance of light and darkness. Through masterful repetitive mark-making, Alessandra crafts elegant illusions, weaving webs of coalescing and dispersing lines that conjure energy, space, light, and darkness with only pen and ink. Bring some light to your life and treat yourself to a contemplative moment with more of Alessandra’s mesmerizing work on our website.

We’ve checked the forecast, and there’s a 100% chance of technicolor joy rolling into the gallery this Friday, when Sally Gil’s “Rain Seen From a Cave” opens with a reception and artist talk on 10/16 from 5-7 pm. In her fourth exhibition with the gallery, Gil’s poetic stories slowly unravel through visual linkages in her carefully built compositions. Dreamlike, each work has its own interior logic: every gesture is considered, every juxtaposition is intentional. Come be among the first to experience this exciting exhibition and hear the stories behind these vibrant utopias from Gil. Can’t wait to see you there!

Spinning your wheels? Jimmie James’s “do (Hang D**g, Thailand)” is here with inspiration to move you forward! James’ brush yields vibrant geometric shapes that push into space as the ground recedes, walking the line between the angular and abstract and the organic and rawly human. Dive into more of James’ poetic work on our website and let the currents of expressive gesture move you in more ways than one.

Grab your umbrella, “Rain from a Cave,” Sally Gil’s new exhibition is almost here! Save the date for Friday, October 16, and join us in the gallery for the opening reception from 5-7 pm, featuring an artist talk with Gil. Trained as a painter, Gil has established her visual vocabulary as an accomplished teller of nonlinear stories, layering appropriated imagery and painted gestures to create mesmerizing technicolor utopias. Get a sneak peek at “Rain from a Cave” on our website and plan to join us on 10/16 to be among the first to experience this exciting exhibition.

Don’t let your glance waver from Melora Griffis’ “look away” – this poignant exploration of the liminal space between representational abstraction and non-objective figuration rewards deep observation. With confident yet nuanced brushstrokes, Griffis conjures a figure that seems to be emerging and disappearing at the same time, capturing a delicate ephemerality, grounded in an undercurrent of emotional truth. Wander through more of Griffis’ expressive work on our website and let the off-kilter beauty of her expansive point of view carry you to somewhere profoundly true.

Sally Gil always transports us, so it’s no surprise that you can find her work as part of NYC’s Poetry in Motion series. Paired with a poem by Heather McHugh, Gil’s expansive mosaic installation at the Avenue U station on the N line brings McHugh’s beautiful words to life. If you’re in NYC, keep your eyes peeled for Poetry in Motion as you move through the world, and save the date for October 16, when you can experience Gil’s multifaceted work in the gallery when “Rain Seen from a Cave” opens with a reception and artist talk with Gil from 5-7 pm.

Stretch yourself to imagine new possibilities, with a little help from Brian Fekete’s “No. 105.” Using the found pages of a 1943 trigonometry text as his ground, Fekete appropriates and warps imagery from the past, cleverly upending any sense of nostalgia with the suggestion that recorded history may not always be what it appears. Discover more of Fekete’s deliciously brow-raising distortions on our website and let him show you how funhouse mirrors reflect the truth of the world.

Crisp, blue-sky September days are a magical moment here in VT, but Berta Burr’s “8/29” offers a window to endless clear skies, no matter the weather where you are! With delicate, nuanced brushwork, Burr evokes not only the poetic, majestic nature of clouds, but also the importance of these natural floating sculptures in regulating Earth’s temperature in our changing climate. Float through more of Burr’s expansive work on our website and treat yourself to a moment of wonder and awe.

September moves at warp speed, so spend a moment with Dorothy Simpson Krause’s “Marking Time” and pause to reflect on the exquisite ephemerality of our everyday lives. Krause cloaks this mixed media collage in a careful patina of age, conjuring the sense of a mysterious historical artifact, unearthed in a distant future we can only imagine. When time seems to be flying by too fast, head to our website to take a slow and contemplative journey into Krause’s luminously elegiac world.
