For Pete's Sake

Moved to help a friend rebuild operations of a local organic farm destroyed by fire, Driven Studio, is staging a one-day-only art exhibit and sale entitled "For Pete's Sake" at the JDK Gallery, located at 47 Maple Street in Burlington, VT on 6-10PM, Friday, March 4, 2011

100% of the sales will go to rebuilding efforts following a devastating fire on Wednesday January 12, 2011 to Pete's Greens, in Craftsbury, VT. Pete’s Greens lost their barn, the balance of their winter inventory and critical equipment.

Featured artists include Dave Kinsey, BigFoot, Dave Aron, Andre Razo, Ben Tour, Chris Pastras, Tyler Lepore, Ryan Wallace, Reid Stewart, Allison Ross, Ellisa Weishaar, Shem Roose, Gary Land, Skye Chalmers, Lee Neary, Elise Smith, Mikey Welsh, Clark Derbes, Nick LaVecchia, Amanda Lawrence, Randy Gaetano and Marin Horikawa. All artists donated their work and JDK has donated use of their main lobby for the exhibition.

Pete's Greens was founded in 1996 by Pete Johnson in Greensboro, VT and has been certified organic since 1998. In 2005 the operation expanded to 240 acres in Craftsbury, VT and they maintain 40 acres of vegetable production and produce 80 varieties of greens, 300 other fruit and vegetable varieties, as well as pasture-raised chicken, pork and beef. The recent fire destroyed the farm's three-story barn along with all of its storage crops, vegetable washing and processing equipment.
