Dear Vermont Arts & Cultural Organizations,

The Vermont Arts Council, in partnership with the UMass Arts Extension Service, is exploring a Culture 4 Climate Action pilot project that will develop institutional and sector capacity to build the resilience of facilities and communities, contribute to carbon reductions and a clean energy future, and articulate the potential of arts and culture to drive transformation toward climate justice in our State. The pilot has the potential to build grassroots capacity, deliver carbon reductions, build the resilience of arts and cultural organizations, and catalyze broader cultural transformation in the process. We need help from organizations to learn about your priorities and concerns related to climate change, understand how you see the arts and cultural sector making a positive impact, and find out if you are interested in being involved. 

We need your input to help inform the development of the pilot. All survey responses will be collected securely and anonymously. Please take a few minutes to complete this brief survey by March 30, 2022.

Questions? Please direct any questions about the survey to Dee Boyle-Clapp, UMass Arts Extension Service, dboyle-clapp@acad.umass.edu
