In the Spring of 2008, the OFF and the Vermont Land Trust (VLT) in consultation with Animating Democracy (a program of Americans for the Arts), issued a Call for Community Partners to Addison County, Vermont towns eager to collaborate on a new approach to community engagement using the arts. Starksboro residents crafted a proposal that won the attention of the Foundation and the Land Trust that applied a nationally recognized model in the school - integrating arts for improved student engagement, to the broader community. The Foundation believes that by getting in touch with deeper community values and connections to place, citizens will be able to improve on traditional approaches to planning and make better decisions about the future of their communities.
