A leadership supporter has committed $10,000 to match every donation dollar-for-dollar.

That means every gift made this week will be doubled — up to $10,000.

Help us unlock the full match and fully fund our $20,000 goal.

Matching period ends on Friday, March 13th at 11:59pm.

Intro

Vermont Creative Works was created to be a welcoming, affordable creative hub for artists, families, and community connection in Lamoille County. Since opening, we’ve hosted workshops, supported local artists, and built a space rooted in creativity, care, and belonging.

As we grow, we’re inviting our community to be part of sustaining this space.

The Story

Opening a community-centered creative space is deeply rewarding — and also financially challenging in the early months. Vermont Creative Works is in a critical growth phase, where community support can make a meaningful difference in helping us stabilize, strengthen our foundation, and continue serving artists and neighbors across the region.

Your contribution helps cover:

Rent and operating costs for the space
Supplies for workshops and community programming
Support for local artists, instructors, and events
Keeping creative access affordable for kids and adults

This is a short-term fundraising effort designed to help VCW move through an early growth moment and continue building toward long-term sustainability.
