VERMONT WEEK at the Vermont Studio Center was created in 1984 to support Vermont’s artists and writers with an intensive week of studio work and fellowship with other Vermont artists. The Vermont Studio Center is grateful to all those who’ve made Vermont Artists Week possible, and would like to extend special thanks to the Vermont Community Foundation’s Arts Endowment Fund, Peter and Bari Dreissigacker, and the Studio Center alumni.
ELIGIBILITY Applicants should be practicing visual artists and writers and must be legal residents of the State of Vermont. In order to serve as many Vermonters as possible, qualified artists and writers who have not previously attended Vermont Week will be given preference.
