Vermont Arts Council Announces Grants

Vermont Business Magazine - “An acoustic stone wall at a public amphitheater in Killington, a mural by a local Abenaki artist at the Retreat Farm in Brattleboro, and plans from the locally owned electric utility in the Town of Stowe to engage a stone mason to re-envision public access are among the projects recently awarded Animating Infrastructure grants from the Vermont Arts Council. 

Strengthening the connection between people and place, these award-winning public art projects promise to bring vibrancy and vitality to their communities. From conception and design to implementation and programming, creative placemaking has been shown to foster social connectedness, improve livability, and enhance a sense of community pride and identity.”

We are increasingly reminded that together we (including All of Our Relations) are best able to embrace responsibility and affirm understanding and restoration through place-based intentionality. By working here together to further good work in response to the Land and Water that is our shared life source, we provide the positive, reciprocal support that actively balances the ideological and political arguments that are a continuation of past (and very much ongoing) divisive behavior. We will continue on that path toward respect and relationship. We are called to find kinship rather than estrangement.
