ST. JOHNSBURY — Fifteen months after closing their Eastern Avenue arts center to their public, Catamount Arts is gearing up for an ambitious summer of arts programming, education opportunities, and live performance.
Like arts organizations nationwide, Catamount closed their brick-and-mortar facility in March of last year, learning on the fly to develop safer programming strategies in the face of the pandemic.
Catamount Arts will re-open in June with a new art installation in the Fried Family Gallery and a return to weekend film screenings, but after a year of thinking outside the box, the box can no longer contain them.
Catamount’s pandemic-inspired innovations, including walkable outdoor art galleries, moving sidewalk fairs, and a newly refurbished 20,000 square-foot arts and entertainment venue, are here to stay.
