Please join us at Arts Achivement Day on April 16 at the Vermont State House in Montpelier at a day long event to celebrate the arts in Vermont.

This is one of the best opportunities for individuals, artists, arts organizations and community groups to meet with legislators to let them know how the arts affect you and your community. The day's events will include an orientation to provide you with tips for effectively communicating with legislators, an awards ceremony presenting Cultural Facilities grantees, a public strategic planning forum, and a Palettes of Vermont final exhibit.

The event is open to the public and we hope you'll attend!
