Member Artist

Our Gallery Space

We display art from a Member Artist for two-month periods at both our Downtown and South End stores.

Our Downtown gallery space is behind our Customer Service desk with great visibility to shoppers checking out. 

Our South End gallery space is on the walls on either side of our café, helping to make our South End café a warm and welcoming space. 

A counter with four red high-top chairs facing away from the viewer. The counter is in front of a wall with large black lettering at top that reads "Member Art." Below the lettering, several paintings of different sizes and many colors hang in three columns.

Street Portraits by Michael Metz

This exhibit is recent work from a long-standing interest in street photography, portraits in particular. In an era where spontaneous shots are increasingly viewed as intrusive, it's a delicate balance between raw authenticity and respect for privacy. This recent work includes a mix of images – some taken with permission and some without, inviting viewers to reflect on the nature of public and private space and the role of the photographer in documenting shared human experience.

Michael is a retired chemist/material scientist, entrepreneur and business owner with a 50 + years passion for photography. He is a graduate for Middlebury College, received an MBA from Columbia University, and is a member of the Vermont Academy of Science and Engineering, Vermont has been Michael's home for the past 35 years. Aside from photography, Michael dedicates his free time volunteering with various local nonprofits involved in the creative economy.
