Are you an active member of the community in St. Johnsbury or the surrounding towns? An educator committed to connecting classroom to community? Interested in documenting the culture of your community? Or simply curious about The Vermont Folklife Center?
Discovering Community will be in-residence in St. Johnsbury from August 12th-15th. As part of our Summer Institute, we are looking forward to mixing and mingling with local educators, media makers, community-based artists, and anyone that is interested in learning more about the mission and work of The Vermont Folklife Center.
Come on down to 142 Eastern for some good old fashioned socializing and let's explore how we can connect with your community! We will have some local art, music, acting, and storytelling throughout the evening. Oh did I mention Dolcetti will be in the house, gelato with a mission. The Vermont Folklife Center will provide light Indian fare provided by Masala and libations courtesy of St. Johnsbury Distillery and The Hughes Family.
