Vermont Arts Council

VAC logo
The Vermont Arts Council was founded in 1964 on a simple and powerful premise: that the arts enrich lives, expand minds, and form a vital thread in the fabric of Vermont community life.

The Council fosters classical, traditional, and emerging forms of artistic expression. It finds enduring ways to make the arts a part of all Vermont communities, bringing inspiration to Vermont citizens and visitors in every corner of the state. It advocates for and supports the arts as a central part of education for all people.

The Council functions as a community partner and a catalyst for artists and organizations. It offers professional development opportunities and technical advice, collects and disseminates arts information, and acts as the state's foremost arts advocate.

In keeping with its community focus, the Council is a grass-roots organization with statewide trustees elected from and by its membership. It is the only not-for-profit state arts agency in the country, and as such is uniquely qualified to unite both public and private resources to serve the following mission: To enrich people's lives and strengthen community through the arts.
