    Before I Die

    This interactive public art installation invites members of the Middlebury community to reflect on what matters most.

    Nancy Willard (1936 - 2017) was an author, poet, and teacher, best known for her children’s books. During Willard’s time at Bread Loaf during the 1980s and 90s, she asked fellow faculty, attendees, and guests to sign wooden eggs. This EGGS-HIBIT is a collection of nearly three dozen hand painted and decorated eggs, themed around each signatory and their work, paired with a corresponding literary work.
