"By 1970, approximately 35,800 hippies were estimated to be living in Vermont," wrote author Yvonne Daley in her 2018 book Going Up the Country: When the Hippies, Dreamers, Freaks and Radicals Moved to Vermont.

- "Chime Cannon" by Scott André Campbell
For Burlington artist Scott André Campbell, digital and analog techniques go hand in hand. When creating mixed-media works for his exhibition "Resist" at Soapbox Arts in Burlington, Campbell used a system he built that draws mathematically programmed information. "My intent was to open my access to numerically derived marks to expand the vocabulary of my visual conversations," he writes in his artist's statement. See Campbell's graphic paper-on-panel pieces through May 29.
