My Fleeting Moments by Mattias Van Cleef '26 on Display
JAYS – Bennington Artisan Market (B.A.M.) presents "My Fleeting Moments," a solo exhibition Mattias Van Cleef '26, from May 1–7 in the storefront windows at 115 South Street in downtown Bennington. An opening reception will be held on Friday, May 1, from 5:00–7:00 pm.
Reports The Bennington Banner:
"Presented in partnership with JAYS – Bennington Artisan Market (B.A.M.), the exhibit transforms a downtown storefront into a visible, street-level gallery space, allowing the work to be experienced directly from the sidewalk.
"Van Cleef is a visual artist working in oil and watercolor. His work draws from scenes throughout southern Vermont and beyond, with paintings completed both in the studio and en plein air. His work often focuses on subtle shifts in light, atmosphere, and the character of a place, informed by close observation and personal connection to the locations he paints.
"The exhibit includes a series of small-format works, making it well suited to the window format and accessible to those passing through downtown."
