This week Vermont Edition is featuring some of the artists whose work is part of the "Art of Action" project.
The project is an effort to express artistically what Vermonters value and want to preserve in the future.
One of the artists is Janet McKenzie of Island Pond. McKenzie's paintings depict members of Vermont's immigrant and refugee communities.
In an interview with the Vermont Folklife Center, McKenzie said visual artists play an important role in the conversation about state's future.
Vermont Edition is featuring a series of reflections by artists whose work is touring the state as part of the "Art Of Action" project.
The project highlights Vermont's people, its working landscape and its natural beauty. Art Of Action is a collaboration between the Vermont Arts Council and philanthropist Lyman Orton.
The work of the ten artists is on display in January 2010 at the Vermont Folklife Center in Middlebury.
Here are a few photos of the artists and their work.
