The GRACE community workshop program serves as the hub for a wide range of educational and outreach services, and serves as a model which is often replicated at national and international venues. GRACE is dedicated to fostering the participation of many different types of people. Children, elders and community members work side by side in an open studio format. GRACE workshop facilitators promote self-teaching and emphasize individual exploration.  Public showing of GRACE artists’ work through the The GRACE Exhibition Program help foster community support and awareness, and provide encouragement and validation for the creating artists. |
For
over thirty years, GRACE has
collaborated with numerous organizations to bring rich art programming
to thousands
of underserved Vermonters. GRACE conducts more than 450 art workshops
annually in northern Vermont
bringing artmaking to the places where people live and work: nursing
homes, senior centers, mental health agenices and adult day centers.
GRACE staff travel to workshop
sites in five Vermont counties. In addition, each year GRACE staff
conduct 150
community art workshops at its historic facility, the Old
