Backstage at the Rainbow Cattle Co., The Drag Queens of
Dummerston, Vermont exhibit opens at Chaffee Art Center on Jan. 11,
in their new downtown location at 74 Merchants Row,
Rutland.
Join Chaffee Art Center for a grand opening reception on Jan.

Merchants Row in Rutland.
Our new show entitled Backstage at the Rainbow Cattle Co.
features gorgeous black & white photographs taken of drag
queens during their preparation for performances. For two years
photographer Evie Lovett captured an intimate view of this
transformation, spending countless hours backstage at this rural
gay bar in Dummerston, Vt., just north of Brattleboro. This exhibit
also features audio excerpts from interviews conducted by Greg
Sharrow of the Vermont Folklife Center and Evie herself. Let your
hair down and come enjoy a great show of stunning photographs and
outrageous creativity!
The show was organized by the Vermont Folklife Center and made
possible by a grant from the Samara Fund of the Vermont Community
Foundation and in collaboration with RU12? and Outright Vermont. It
will travel to all fourteen counties of Vermont - do not miss this
exciting show at Chaffee Downtown! The show will be on exhibit Jan.
11 - Feb. 9, 2013.
