Zero Celsius


January 8-April 23, 2026

Speakers: March 14th, 3:30-5:30 pm, Bill McKibbon and filmmaker/artist Rob Reynolds at The Big Pic, Waitsfield


ZERO CELSIUS takes place at Mad Arts and at Sugarbush Resort.


Zero Celsius shares about the experience of winter as a season of wonder, silence, and survival. Yet in our warming world, winter itself is becoming unstable. It brings together artists working across mixed-media, painting, sound, photography, and digital media to explore snow’s fragility in the face of climate change.

This exhibition examines snow/winter as both material, concept and metaphor: fleeting, crystalline, silent, yet deeply tied to global systems of water, ecology, and human life. We hope to raise awareness of the fragility of winter landscapes, to spark emotional connection through sensory experience, and to inspire dialogue between art, science, and community. We also hope to empower visitors to share their memories, stories and conversations around the significance of the winter season in our lives. 


Join us March 14th, 3:30-5:30pm at The Big Picture, 48 Carroll Rd, Waitsfield, Vt


Los Angeles based visual artist Rob Reynolds will be in conversation with environmentalist, journalist and author Bill McKibben on Sat. March 14th 3:30- 5:30pm at The Big Picture in Waitsfield, VT. Organized by MAD ARTS, in conjunction with the current art show Zero Celsius exploring art and climate, Reynolds' art video The Word for Weather is Knowledge will be screened and immediately followed by a lively exchange, ranging from the special place of Greenland today, to art and environmental awareness, celebrating McKibben's most recent book, Here Comes the Sun.
