The show includes ten artists from Burlington, greater Vermont, New York, and Philadelphia who will display work centered around the theme of "home."

Borough Gallery & Studio and its neighbors Vintage Inspired and Miss Pickles Attic, also opening their doors and presenting a holiday display, are located at 180 Flynn Avenue via the SEABA entrance.
Curated by resident artists Emily Wilson and Shawna Cross, "The Place You Hang Your Hat" represents the varying ideas and observations about what an artist calls home. Each artist was asked to contemplate their definition of home and write a Home Statement to be displayed at the show. With these statements as a guide, images with an emphasis on togetherness, space, or randomized inanimate objects soon reveal that notions of home are unstable and unlimited and ultimately transient. To make a home is a journey and these artist have drawn inspiration from both its comforts and uncertainties, both domesticity and wilderness, and through their work offer a place to hang your hat. For information about these artists work and perceptions of their work, in addition to more images please check out our artists interviews, conducted by resident author Stephen Orloske on our website.
