ART EXHIBITION AND AUCTION: On Saturday, November 15, Bennington Museum (75 Main Street, Bennington, VT) is pleased to open the annual winter exhibition and Closed-Bid Auction, Vermont Vice: Sex, Drugs, Money, and Murder, which will foreshadow the major summer/fall 2026 exhibition of the same name. This exhibit features art inspired by bad habits, guilty pleasures, and immoral and wicked behavior in the Green Mountain State. The 24 regional contemporary artists will respond to this theme with new works that will be on display at the Museum through the end of the year. All works are for sale, and proceeds will be split equally between the Museum and the artists. The Closed-Bid Auction of exhibited artwork will open at the Museum and online at 10am on November 15 and close at 11pm on December 18. In Closed-Bid auctions you do not see what others have bid, but instead bid the maximum amount that you would like to pay for that piece. After the bidding closes (and prior to the holidays), the person with the highest bid for each work of art will be declared the winner and be contacted for payment and to arrange a pick-up time. In the event of a tie the bid placed first will be the winner. To avoid a tie, we urge people to bid an odd amount such as $501.50 rather than $500.00. Winning bids placed on items in this auction benefit both the Museum and the artists.
ART EXHIBITION: The Albany Institute of History & Art (125 Washington Ave, Albany) presents “From the Hudson to the Nile: Dows Dunham and the Archaeology of Egypt and Sudan.” This exhibition celebrates the remarkable career of Dows Dunham (1890–1984), a Hudson Valley–born archaeologist whose pioneering fieldwork in Egypt and Sudan and dedicated scholarship as a curator at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston transformed the field and continues to shape the study and preservation of ancient civilizations today. “From the Hudson to the Nile” features select antiquities uncovered during the Harvard University–Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Expedition, publications authored by Dunham, field tools and instruments, photographs, and archival materials drawn primarily from the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Brooklyn Museum, as well as from the Dunham family. In addition, new reproductions of the Boston Museum of Science’s pyramid model and a Nubian funeral bed of fine wood craftsmanship offer visitors a striking sense of material and scale, bridging the distance between the discoveries of Dunham’s era and the enduring fascination with ancient Egypt and Nubia today. “From the Hudson to the Nile” will be on display from November 8 to May 3, 2026.
