A few photos from French Heritage Day this past Sunday! Merci to everyone who stopped by our tent to paint "en plein air" (painting outdoors). A lovely opportunity to relax and enjoy the Winooski riverfront landscape.

Lovely to be included in this special celebratory luncheon at the Winooski Senior Center with Nepali seniors and families. Backstrap weavings from our workshops were on display, along with woven mandalas inspired by our Mandala Community Weaving project from last year!

Late Wednesday night, all 56 humanities councils throughout the U.S. and its territories were notified by email that their awarded grants — including Vermont Humanities' five-year general operating grant and other program-specific awards — were terminated, effective April 1.
DOGE Looks to Gut Vermont Humanities, Terminate Grants

The museum will be closed Feb 27 & 28 to host UVM students from the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources.
In the museum, students learn about local industrial history. Outside, they are exploring ecological phenomena and climate changes at play in the Winooski River floodplain.

In July 1909, the U.S. Army stationed its famed 10th Cavalry Div (an all-Black unit known as the Buffalo Soldiers) at Fort Ethan Allen in Colchester. Their arrival
(and their families) more than doubled Vermont’s Black population and helped change public perceptions around race relations in VT.

Nice to have a photo feature in VT Arts Council Annual Report FY24, highlighting the Project grant we received to support a series of knitting workshops with East African woman, held at AALV in Burlington. Super excited to see these amazing women tomorrow night at our first meeting of the new year.

It was a pleasure hosting students from BTV City & Lake Semester this past Monday. Students learned about the historically unsafe working conditions at textile mills and shared their personal experience with labor regulations. We also talked about current child labor issues around the globe.
