Last week, a hate incident disrupted a Pride Month poetry reading in Lyndonville, VT. But hate cannot stop art. @VTArtsCouncil and @VtHumanities stand in solidarity with our communities against hate and extremism. Thank you @vtdigger for sharing our piece: https://t.co/AmOULGF8g5

Thanks to the Grants for Arts Projects through the NEA, Vermont organizations will be receiving over $1.1M. Recipients include Flynn Theater, VT Symphony Orchestra, Dorset Theater, and more. Excited to see the impact these grants will have on our local art community.

Thank you @vermontpublic for a great interview about my new role as Executive Director of @VTArtsCouncil and for being a supporter of Vermont’s creative sector!

The past 5 years @LCMaritime have been an incredible way to connect with the local community and expand the concept of what a history museum can and should be. The incredible staff are going to keep doing great things! https://t.co/yQnqGXtiZo

@plmanseau @wolverinewilson @VTArtsCouncil @JeffSharlet Thanks Peter! I’ll definitely reach out to him. Perks of the job are that I get to meet and hang out with all of our state’s amazing creative people

[Susan Evans McClure @SusnEvans]

I think being described as a “big-time Prohibition nerd” by @vermontpublic is probably the best (and most accurate) professional accolade I’ve ever received. Thanks for having me on this episode of @bravestatevt. Talking about Prohibition in Vermont never gets old!

[Brave Little State @bravestatevt]

During Prohibition, Vermonters frequented “line houses.” These bars were built right on the Vermont-Quebec border so Americans could have a drink without (technically) breaking the law. https://t.co/q9x97J1D26

It’s the final countdown! Just 2 more days to visit @LCMaritime for the 2022 season. But don’t worry, maritime history enthusiasts, we’re always open online: https://t.co/924FRxbXFi

Read about the process that the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum recently undertook when they refreshed their organizational philosophy statements in the latest issue of New England Museums Now: https://t.co/UcM4pvQntK @LCMaritime

[Susan Evans McClure @SusnEvans]

“You don’t say ‘I’m finished,’ you say ‘Let’s keep this going.’” Thank you @SenatorLeahy for your leadership to protect and care for Lake Champlain.

Vermont has some remarkable legacy outlets that provide different and complementary ways of understanding the state. https://t.co/8htKhfHejR

Tube on strike, I dawdled to Paddington on Friday. Passing the old wrought iron sign for Pizza Express, I was reminded of an event 30+ years ago, when I got caught up in a drama that resulted in a divorce, two marriages and many changed lives.

It began with a heart attack 🧵

[NPR @NPR]

Why do Vermont and New Hampshire still elect a governor every two years?

For one: Some voters feel that it's a way to keep politicians accountable.

I spent 3 months reporting this piece on the @Smithsonian's new collections policy. I interviewed more than 30 experts and visited most of its galleries. Here is some of what I learned:
