The Vermont Arts Council wants you to participate in a conversation about the future of arts education in Vermont. Share you concerns, hopes, and ideas at a one of the community forums we are hosting throughout the state this fall and winter:

Burlington: Wednesday, November 19, Integrated Arts Academy, 6:30 p.m.

The first of these forums took place in September at the Vermont College of Fine Arts. 120 leaders in the arts, education, and business communities came together with the goal of identifying a series of priorities and strategies to ensure that Vermont students have the opportunity to develop their creative abilities and critical thinking. Read a summary and analysis of their ideas here:
