Dear Friends,
Cultural organizations were among the first to close and will certainly be among the last to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic, yet they are vital to the longterm success of Vermont communities.
We present to you our report that lays out the work that we have done in partnership with the state of Vermont, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Humanities to save Vermont’s cultural organizations from the most devastating impacts of the pandemic. It also notes where we have fallen short and illustrates the critical need for an ongoing, sustained investment in Vermont’s recovery.
The report details the data and stories from the Vermont Covid-19 Cultural Recovery Grant Program, a partnership between Vermont Humanities and the Vermont Arts Council to provide funding to arts and humanities organizations facing financial hardship due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Vermont’s artists and humanists are key voices in the ongoing discussion about how our communities can recover from Covid-19. We urge you to engage with the following stories and join us to ensure that the arts and humanities continue as vital hubs in our cities, towns, and villages.
