Thanks for jammin' with us!
This fall, we held a series of virtual "jam sessions," with many chances for creative Vermonters to mix it up with each other, network, brainstorm, discuss, and create a plan for the future of our sector.
We have no more events scheduled at this time, but there's lots of work ahead in the new year. Stay tuned, and we'll keep you posted on what comes next. Click on over to What We're Hearing to see what happened.
Jamboree Action Ideas and Resources
Our final event of the year was Jamboree! Nearly 150 people came together for a day of meet-up sessions, music, presentations, art work and action planning. We also heard from five great speakers about priority areas identified through this process and quick actions you can take right now. Explore below for some links and ways to dive into building a stronger creative sector. You can also explore this resource list with links shared by event participants.
