Vermont Creative Sector Convening

Join us on June 5 in downtown Saint Albans for the second statewide Creative Sector Convening!

This one day, in-person event brings together Vermont’s creative sector for learning and connecting through workshops, panels, performances, and networking. The theme for the 2026 Convening is “Hands-On” — a reflection of how creatives come together: through the things we make, the skills we share, and the hands we extend to help our community. The day is an invitation for all of us to use our creative skills to get our hands on the challenges and opportunities facing Vermont. 

The Vermont Arts Council and Vermont Creative Network are key to making this vital day of networking, advocacy, and inspiration happen. The Vermont Creative Network is a broad collective of organizations, businesses, and individuals working to advance Vermont’s creative sector through research, advocacy, and networking.

The Convening is held in conjunction with the Downtown and Historic Preservation…
