About Kelley Marketing Group: For over 40 years, Kelley Marketing Group has met monthly to provide pro-bono marketing advice to nonprofit organizations so they may thrive and improve our community. The “consultants” who gather include just-starting-out and seasoned marketing professionals, as well as faculty, staff, students, and alumni of Champlain College and other area colleges melding the community with academia. The nonprofit client completes a questionnaire outlining the marketing topic about which they are seeking advice. Consultants get access to the questionnaire in advance of the meeting to get their creative juices flowing in anticipation of sharing out during the 90-minute session. Consultants can attend just an occasional meeting or join in the conversation every month. This is a great opportunity to network, build experience, and pay it forward.

Before There Were Houses: Sage Tucker-Ketcham | Gallery Reception
2026-02-19 16:00 - 18:00 | Champlain Art Gallery, Center for Communication & Creative Media (CCM), 375 Maple Street, Burlington, VT, 05401, United States
Before foundations were laid, before shelter took shape, a wild tangle of root and stem stirred beneath the Earth’s surface. In Before There Were Houses, Sage Tucker-Ketcham strips away the architectural markers that once anchored her work, turning instead to the observation of unique botanical matter often overlooked during daily walks. Building interconnected worlds based upon intentional viewing offers insight into the commodity of time: the more time we spend looking, the more we see; the more we see, the more we are able to reflect on how we choose to engage with the world.
Through slow accumulations of oil paint, glazes, and sprays, Tucker-Ketcham uses her mastery of techniques to build ecosystems that shimmer between memory and vision, where lifecycles of flora bloom and retreat in saturated, dreamlike hues. These are not tidy gardens but thick, infused atmospheres where foliage emerges as a tangled expression of resilience.
This exhibit invites us to observe with contemplation; to give ourselves time to be drawn into the depths of the work, to feel the long gaze of observation, and to get lost in the sentimental details of a lifelong creative practice.

Honoring Resilience: Black History in Vermont

The event will conclude with remarks from campus leadership, reinforcing the institution’s commitment to honoring and preserving this vital history.
More information and a brief history:
This February marks an extraordinary convergence of American history: the 250th anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution and the 100th anniversary of Black History Month observances. Vermont holds a unique place in both of these milestones. As the first state to abolish slavery in its 1777 constitution, Vermont established itself as a leader in the fight for freedom and equality. This Black History Month celebration on Champlain’s campus honors that legacy while exploring the often-overlooked contributions of Black Vermonters who have shaped the state’s history and culture.
Dr. Carter G. Woodson, who founded what would become Black History Month in 1926, understood that commemorating Black history was essential to transforming how communities view themselves and their place in the world. His vision was captured by scholar Arthur A. Schomburg’s powerful statement: “The American Negro must remake his past in order to make his future.” A century later, as we face contemporary challenges to inclusive education and historical accuracy, Vermont’s early commitment to abolition and equality reminds us why these commemorations matter—not simply as contributions to mainstream narratives, but for their profound resonance in the lives of Black people and the broader community.

The workshop will explore the impact of eating disorders across different backgrounds and communities. We will also have a calming bracelet-making activity during the workshop. All Champlain community members are welcome to attend.
Eating disorders affect 30 million Americans in their lifetime. They impact EVERY BODY, across all backgrounds and communities, yet it often takes years for people to recognize and seek help. Eating disorders have devastating mental and physical consequences but are too often overlooked due to a lack of understanding, myths about who can experience them, and a lack of accessible, quality, culturally responsive resources.
This workshop fulfills the DaretoCARETalk InSight Milestone.

We ask that external teams have a faculty advisor who can help coordinate logistics to and from the competition.
