Member Artists
Due to the closing of the South End store's cafe, we are temporarily suspending the South End Art Wall to be fair to our Member Artists. Our Downtown Art Wall plans to continue as normal while respecting social distancing requirements as much as possible. Thank you for your understanding.
Are you an artist and a City Market Member? We'd love to feature your art on one of our Member Artist Walls! We feature art from a Member Artist for two month periods at both our Downtown store on the wall near Register 10 and in our South End store on the walls on either side of our cafe. If you are interested in displaying your art, please fill out and return our Member Artist Application and submit to Membership@citymarket.coop.
October is Co-op Month and Farm to School Month! City Market is using the Member Art Wall to celebrate one of its most treasured goals: to reduce childhood hunger in our community. While our adult Members were celebrating at Member Meeting on September 17, our younger Members were creating a beautiful collaborative printed canvas highlighting their favorite healthy snacks at the Co-op. 
Hailing from the small town of Derby in the North East Kingdom of Vermont comes artist Chime ZerØ. Art has always been a passion of Chime ZerØ. Ever since he was old enough to hold a pencil, Chime ZerØ was drawing and painting. He refined his artistic skills throughout his schooling, always doodling in his notebooks. It was in college, where he studied Art History, that Chime ZerØ was influenced by all the art movements that has helped him create his style. The work of Chime ZerØ is a combination of past artistic movements. He has the fine brush strokes of the Renaissance mixed with the fast brush strokes of the French Impressionists. Drips and splatters of Abstract Expressionism along with elements of Pop Art and Graffiti can be found throughout all his work. Chime ZerØ has a unique flare while staying true to the artistic roots.
Johnny moved to Burlington in April 2012 from Ft. Lauderdale, FL and makes a living as a tattoo artist at Event Horizon Tattoo Studio here in Burlington. This collection, "Anna" is a collaboration of Johnny and his 100 year old grandmother, Anna Martin. All the designs were originally pencil drawings done by Anna just before her 100th birthday in March, then enlarged and painted by Johnny. This is her first art show. Besides art, Johnny enjoys spending time with his girlfriend, Courtney, and their three dogs, Bella, Daisy, and Kipper Barrington Jr. III. He likes to cook, snowboard, hike, bike, shop at City Market, and listen to fusion jazz.
My work has undergone many transformations, first finding wheel-throwing at the University of Vermont. My work first started with practical forms like mugs and bowls, but finding myself getting antsy and a little limited with the forms I could make, I decided to try hand-building.
Burlington Children’s Space is an early childhood center deeply rooted in Burlington’s Old North End. Programming is based on the interests and curiosities of the children, and the unique culture and resources of our local community. Last year, the children of the Green Preschool classroom pursued an in-depth study of textiles including weaving, using a sewing machine, dyeing yarn, hand sewing, fabric printing, and quilting. Each child began the quilting project by drawing their idea for a quilt square, then using fabric, ribbon and a sewing machine (with the guidance of a teacher) to make their quilt square plans a reality. This collaborative quilt is one of the artifacts of this long-term study.
I love to create. My favorite way to paint is on found materials with food-dyed milk paint. I also use acrylic paint and cotton canvas. My painting is in the K’Vay style. K’Vay is pronounced ‘kay-vay’ and comes from the Spanish “¿Qué ve?” It means “What do you see?” I believe in honesty, justice, bright colors, big families, natural hair, real food, and playing outside all day. To these ends, at least 10% of annual profits from sales of my artwork support youth in foster care, the local foodshelf, and families living in poverty.
Art from the Heart is a program of Burlington City Arts in collaboration with the Vermont Children's Hospital at Fletcher Allen Health Care. With the aid of devoted volunteers, Art from the Heart helps hospitalized children feel better by providing them with time and materials to experience the joys of painting and creative work.
I was born in Plymouth, MA and now live in Essex, VT. I have always had a deep appreciation for all forms of art. When I was in high school I studied a variety of art mediums and later moved into private tutoring with pen and pencil art. In 2006 I started teaching myself photography.
