Named after our first executive director, the Victor R. Swenson Humanities Educator award recognizes excellence in the teaching of the humanities. The $1,000 award is given to a Vermont educator in grades 6 through 12.
Nominations for the 2022 Swenson Award are due by August 1, 2022.
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.

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.
