About Us
A Grassroots History · A Vision for Sustainability
For over 30 years, Main Street Arts has been a catalyst for the arts in southern Vermont. A place of inclusion, we provide a gathering space where all are welcome, regardless of experience, ability, age, or financial resources.
We work tirelessly to offer opportunities that nurture both the artistic and the larger human spirit. We have a passion for excellence, typically choosing material and methods that challenge and excite. Much of our work is collaborative, from classes to theater productions, gallery exhibits to serving on our board of trustees.
We are a place where you can explore yourself and your art, find deep friendships and acceptance, grow, and be nurtured.
