Since 1992, Vermont
Arts Exchange (VAE) has been operating
a community school of the arts and has developed an excellent track
record of pioneering high quality arts education programs for area
youth and their families in southern Vermonts rural and underserved
areas. From VAEs headquarters at the Sage St. Mill, to low
income housing sites and schools, VAE provides high quality multi-disciplinary
arts classes including music, dance, and the visual arts for people
of all ages and incomes. VAEs educational programs include
mentoring and community service opportunities for area youth as
well as the opportunity to work with artists in classes that provide
sequential learning.
Vermont Arts Exchanges arts education programs
have been sustained through ongoing working relationships and partnerships
with local municipalities, housing groups, law enforcement, schools
and civic organizations. Arts education programs developed for youth
and their families have been recognized at the local, State and
regional levels.
