Join us on June 5 in downtown Saint Albans for the second statewide Creative Sector Convening!
This one day, in-person event brings together Vermont’s creative sector for learning and connecting through workshops, panels, performances, and networking. The theme for the 2026 Convening is “Hands-On” — a reflection of how creatives come together: through the things we make, the skills we share, and the hands we extend to help our community. The day is an invitation for all of us to use our creative skills to get our hands on the challenges and opportunities facing Vermont.
The Convening is held in conjunction with the Downtown and Historic Preservation Conference on June 4, hosted by Preservation Trust of Vermont and the Vermont Department of Housing and Community Development.
Each location is wheelchair accessible. We invite you to contact us with specific accommodations you need to facilitate your participation. We will make every effort to honor your requests when they are made by May 15. Contact Michele Bailey, 504/ADA coordinator at mbailey@vermontartscouncil.org or at 802.402.4614. Voice and relay calls welcome. You can find the Know Before You Go Guide and Accessibility Guide at the link.
The artwork used above is titled “Collecting Light,” created by Vermont artist Neha Shukla. Materials: Tissue paper, acrylic ink, and graphite.
