Editorial: Shelter project shows healthy approach to housing crisis
At a time when much of the rest of America has decided that being homeless is not only a moral failure but also a crime, the Upper Valley has rallied handsomely in support of the construction of a new 20-bed low-barrier shelter in White River Junction that is projected to open next spring. Although backing for the project was by no means unanimous, it is testimony to the compassion, good will and wisdom so often exhibited by those who live here.

LEBANON — Last summer, 48 artists working within an array of mediums exhibited work in AVA Gallery and Art Center’s biennial juried show. From that group, the juror chose four artists to receive a small cash prize and a year to develop a solo exhibition featuring new work. The fruits of that labor go on view this Friday on the gallery’s main floor.
