BRATTLEBORO â Gallery Walk Friday will include a focus on learning about ourselves and one another through the unveiling of the âWheel of Philosophy.â
Thought up by Bethany Thies and Michael Ferreira, the new, interactive thinking game includes questions both generic and probing.
âThis is a brand new idea and concept that does not exist. Think of a cross between the Wheel of Fortune and The Price is Right,â Thies said.
The physical wheel with questions was built by Justin Morrell of Morrell Metalsmiths of Colrain, Mass. The game also includes activities aimed to bring people together.

BRATTLEBORO â With Gallery Walk set to reboot today, current and former organizers are reminiscing about the event s rich past â and hope to clear up some confusion about its founding.
The downtown arts event started to take shape in the 1990s, but the specifics around its origins are uncertain. Organizers of early forms of the event remember its founding as an organic process.
Greg Worden, of Vermont Artisan Designs in town, recalls connecting with fellow gallery owners and creative minds in town shortly after opening his business. The town s gallery owners were in the habit of holding monthly openings, and thought it might be fun to coordinate an event with other activities, Worden remembers. Around a half-dozen businesses took part in this early iteration of the event.
