So Gladly Received
Vermont's State House is also traditionally referred to as "the people's house." All are welcome. It is fitting, then, that the two sculptors who are creating the statue to be placed atop the capitol building will be celebrated with four other Vermont artists known for breaking down barriers.
The creator of
Dykes to Watch Out For and
Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic, the co-founder of The In-Sight Photography Project, a persistent arts advocate, and a long-recognized leader in inclusive teaching practices will also be honored at a ceremony at the State House November 14. Read more about it in this week's featured story,
2018 Governor's Arts Awards.

The Vermont Arts Council is funded, in part, by a grant from the
National Endowment for the Arts
, which requires a 1:1 match from the Vermont State Legislature. Council grants, programs, and statewide arts promotion would not be possible without the critical funding provided by these government agencies.
