Vermont Humanities staff and partners reflect on a milestone 50th anniversary year and explore the impact that Words in the Woods, Veteran’s Book Groups, and more can have on our sense of community and understanding of the humanities in everyday life.
With hundreds of our own events and those of our community partners, it was exciting to engage new audiences with so many celebratory gatherings. Vermont Humanities endeavors to embrace this value in every aspect of our work. Join us in fostering and facilitating connections and experiences that have the power to impact all Vermonters. Please give now!
For our 50th anniversary year, we’ll weigh the many challenges facing our communities and highlight moments of celebration as we move forward into a critical time period to create a more welcoming and resilient Vermont.
Today, January 1st, 2024, we celebrate our 50th anniversary with deep gratitude for our extraordinary founding leadership. We are grateful for the work of everyone who has had a hand in bringing the humanities to life in Vermont communities over the past five decades.
Our seasonal “Words in the Woods” program allows Vermonters and visitors to enjoy our state’s natural beauty while listening to and reading literature in the outdoors.
Humanities Camps are filled with reading and writing projects, field trips, and outdoor activities.
We won a 2020 Schwartz Prize for best public humanities programming in the U.S. for Vermont Reads 2019: “March: Book One.”
We supported the Chandler Center for the Arts’ Global Connections Youth Outreach program, which highlights artists from around the world.
Our free public events help bring the power of the humanities to communities across Vermont.
