It was well received and folks said We should do this even when we CAN have a real show.” So here it is, our second Virtual Show – this time with an expanded team. We hope you enjoy it. Scroll Down Special Collections In our first Virtual Show we had two Featured Artists, with extensive collections of their rugs, videoed interviews of visits in their studios. This time around we have four Special Collections, Remembering Lynn Soule, a member we lost this year; The Duncans, a group challenge taken up by members of two overlapping groups in Southern Vermont and Western Massachusetts; Celebrations 33, the ten juried finalists by GMRHG members; and the 2022 Award Winners, the rugs that were selected by our jurors and the viewers at our in-person show last November in Montpelier, VT.
