Manchester’s Southern Vermont Arts Center presents “Many Americas: Art Meets History” in its Elizabeth de C. Wilson Museum Aug. 20-Nov. 27. The public is invited to a Curator’s Tour at 1 p.m. today (Aug. 20) immediately followed by the opening reception from 2 to 4 p.m. Inspired by historian Ronald Takaki’s “A Different Mirror,” the “Many Americas” exhibition takes as a premise that we do not share a common history and our divergent histories are the source of our troubled civic discourse. Pictured is Sharon Shapiro’s “Room for Revision.”
