During the most recent state legislative session, the Vermont Arts Council and the Vermont Creative Network advocated for increased investment in economic recovery for the creative sector. Thanks to our champions in the legislature and the efforts of many local advocates and statewide partners, the outcomes of this session include unprecedented opportunities for creative sector support, including $9 million of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to the Vermont Arts Council for grants to cover monthly operating costs to creative sector entities that have sustained economic harm due to the pandemic.
Join us for a recap of this year’s momentous legislative session and to preview and discuss some of the key programs passed that will impact the creative sector.
