Vermont Art Online Creates a New Virtual Portal for Vermont Arts & Culture

Vermont Art Online is a new website that lets families, students, educators, and the public enjoy Vermont’s museums and galleries from the comfort and safety of their own homes. Visitors to www.VermontArtOnline.org, which launched on Wednesday, March 25th, can explore virtual galleries at art, history, and science institutions across the state, interact with spaces and exhibitions, click on objects for deeper exploration, and link to museum websites for more information and educational resources.

The website was created by Sarah Briggs and Sarah Laursen of Middlebury College Museum of Art (MCMA), in partnership with the Vermont Curators Group in response to the closures of many of the state’s museums and galleries due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “We wanted to create a way for Vermonters to easily find quality online content while providing greater visibility and broader audiences to local institutions with closed doors,” explained Sarah Briggs, MCMA Sabarsky Graduate Fellow. MCMA Curator of Asian Art Sarah Laursen continued, “As curators and educators with digital media experience, we thought our skills could be of service to our fellow curators. The fact that we have such a close-knit network in Vermont made it possible to carry out this collaboration in such a short time frame.”

This project has quickly gained momentum and will launch just one week after the Vermont Curators Group began outreach efforts to its membership. From the top of the state to the bottom, 18 institutions are participating as of press time, with more coming online each day. According to Vermont Curators Group founder Andrea Rosen, “Providing the state’s cultural institutions with the opportunity to be collaborative, mutually supportive, and responsive to unforeseen circumstances is one reason the Curators Group was created. We are so glad to offer our members this opportunity to stay engaged with the public.”

In addition to virtual tours, the website will soon offer at-home activities from Vermont arts institutions for teachers, families, and students to enjoy as a resource for online learning. In a joint statement, Executive Directors Karen Mittelman of Vermont Arts Council and Christopher Ilstrup of Vermont Humanities Council stated, “We are grateful to the artists and curators across our state who are offering creative and inspiring ways for us all to stay connected and to support each other, and are excited to partner with the Vermont Curators Group to make this online resource available during this time of social distancing.”

Generous support for Vermont Art Online has been provided by Vermont Arts Council, Vermont Humanities Council, the Fleming Museum of Art, and Middlebury College Museum of Art.

About the Vermont Curators Group: Founded in 2016, the Vermont Curators Group was formed to bring curators from across the state together to connect and collaborate. Membership now includes more than 90 cultural institutions specializing in art, design, history, science, and craft, from every corner of Vermont. www.VermontCuratorsGroup.com
