    Jeff Clark, the chair of BASIC informed the SSSC members that there might be vacancies coming up on their committee.

    Exploring Brattleboro’s Cultural Landscape: Past, Present, and Future
    Saturday, January 11, 2014, 9:30 a.m.-noon
    Main Stage, Latchis Theatre

    You are invited to join the ongoing discussion about Brattleboro’s arts and culture sector.

    For many years, Brattleboro has been lauded as a small community with an outsized profusion of the arts. Many different threads have woven together to form the community we live and work in today. In which ways has the arts and culture sector informed Brattleboro’s personality? What lenses are used to described current trends? Who are the past and present players? What do we need to understand about how the community landscape is formed and subsequently altered? Can we learn from historical trends to nudge creatively at the future?
