Member Artists
Are you an artist and a City Market Member? We'd love to feature your art on our Member Artist Wall! 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.

“My name is Meagan Pittman, I am 17 years old, and I am studying Design and Illustration at Burlington High School and Colchester High School while being dually enrolled at CCV. My art Ranges from drawing with pencil to painting with both oil and acrylic paint. My style ranges from Abstract to Realism, I capture details the way I see them. I create art because I can control the outcome of what I create and learn more about myself while doing so. I appreciate the beauty of the smaller things in life and I try to capture that in my work. Everyone finds peace in something and I find that peace in putting paintbrush to canvas or pencil to paper.”

October is Co-op Month and City Market is using the Member Art Wall to celebrate its past as we get ready to begin a new future! Throughout the month of October, check out the Art Wall to see pictures of City Market in all of its varying stages from 1973 to 2015 and view some of our plans for our new store in the South End. If we don’t remember where we’ve been, how will we know where we’re going?
“Plants and animals have been my longstanding favorite subjects. I take pleasure in trying to get my drawings “just right” through close observation and careful line work. The process of creating my drawings are less so a means of expression, but rather an avocation for producing something aesthetically appealing.
“I tend to favor and infuse cheerful colors throughout my cartoons. I prefer my characters to have a light and airy feel to them, almost as if they can be peeled off of the page, like pieces from a Colorforms set. Many might appear to be dancing around, unaffected by the laws of gravity. I like the dichotomy between a bewildered, muddled mind and a mischievous, haughty look. This adds a separate element to the picture and makes it seem multi-dimensional. It also lends itself to various forms of interpretation rather than that which is most obvious visually to one’s eye.
“In my time as an artist, I have been fortunate enough to have had many positive experiences in life and with my art. I have had numerous solo and group exhibitions as well as having been featured in various local and regional publications. Some of these include Solo Exhibitions, Left Bank Home and Garden, Mirabelle’s, the Teresa Davis Studios at the S.E.B.A Center, Seven Days, the Burlington Free Press, The Daily Planet, the South End Art Hop, and the Art’s Alive Festival (2013 second place winner).”
“My work is a practice relating to the phenomenology of revelation. I make these images through a careful study of the objects in my internal awareness. My method involves holding extremely detailed imagery in my mind's eye. From this focusing process, I then translate the revelations as imagery and story. What manifests is my Magnum Opus: a work in progress that is intended to be a graphic novel and a movie. Of the Timeless Go-Between is the working title for the project. These images are hand-illustrated through a collection of mediums in the tradition of Outsider Art.”
