We invite Vermont communities to plan projects centered around Gather and its themes of rural life, resilience, class differences, addiction, housing and food insecurity, a deep relationship to the land, and the power of community.
Follow the links below to help plan activities to support your project, and to help promote them.
Vermont Reads has shifted our program year. The start date for Gather is July 1, 2024, and applications for projects will be accepted through June 30, 2025.
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.
