In February and March, the Arts Council travelled the state to solicit Vermonters' ideas for how we can sustain and grow the arts during these economically and politically challenging times. As part of the meetings we asked these questions:
- Given the current funding climate, how can the Vermont Arts Council continue to “inspire a creative state?”
- With the potential of a dramatic reduction in our resources, what should the Council’s priorities be?
We hope you will join us at one of these five community meetings:
