In 2021, many Vermonters felt the grip of the pandemic loosen, but also faced unique challenges of our “new normal.” We began to convene together to share stories and experiences, yet all through the lens of a changed world. As we look to the future of Vermont Humanities, we’ll re-imagine our work by making equity, accessibility, and accountability central to everything we do. In this way we’ll respond to the ongoing volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity of these times.
In 2021, 31,365 people took part in 562 activities hosted by us or by our community partners. We also gave nearly $169,000 in humanities grants to 52 Vermont organizations.
Along with the Vermont Arts Council, we gave $1.2 million to 146 Vermont cultural organizations in 2021 through the Vermont Cultural Recovery Program through a collaborative grant program made possible by American Rescue Plan Act funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Endowment for the Arts.
