Hello Catamount Community,

Summer is finally here, and so are we, even if we can’t see you as much as we’d like. Vermont’s doing a great job managing the COVID-19 pandemic, and that means our social distancing safety measures are working! Let’s keep it up! At Catamount, we’re doing our part by NOT opening the Arts Center this summer. However, we’re still planning a full summer of arts and arts education programming outside of the arts center. Here are some highlights:

Online registration is open at catamountarts.org for “Hey NEK! What’s Your Art,” a Virtual Art and Creativity Showcase for Everyone! We’re inviting YOU to submit a photo or very short video showcasing your creativity. Whether it’s whistling or woodworking, cake decorating or hula hoop tricks, we want to see it, and we want to celebrate it!

The Kingdom All Stars are planning five online concerts from their new Garden of Groovin’ pandemic-proof stage set. The first of these highly anticipated live shows takes place July 1st, right before the Catamount Arts Summer Solstice Raffle drawing.

Do you have your raffle tickets yet? Buy your Summer Solstice Raffle tickets online at catamountarts.org for your chance to win a Harley, a tractor, or $10,000 cash!

Also coming up in July, thanks to a partnership with NVU, our very first Drive-In Movie and Music Series! We’re very excited to bring big-screen films and live music to you, drive-in style, this summer. Stay tuned for more details!

In the meantime, we’ve got lots more in the works. Summer camps as we know them are canceled, but we’re continuing to work remotely with our EPIC Music Program students. We’ve partnered with Northern Counties Health Care to launch Kingdom Create HEALth, using art to engage populations in extreme isolation. And we’ll soon be accepting applications for our fifth annual Arts Connect Juried Art Show.

And even though the arts center facility is closed for the summer, you can still rent from our extensive library of international independent films by mail. Also, our box office phones are open! You can’t visit the box office, but someone’s manning the phones Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2-5, so if you call and leave a message, they’ll get back to you then.

From me and all the staff and board at Catamount Arts, thank you for your continued support and for keeping yourself and your community safe this summer!

Be well,

Jody Fried, Executive Director
