The Center for Arts and Learning was founded in 2012, when Monteverdi Music School, the River Rock School, and T.W. Wood Gallery formed a non-profit umbrella organization to manage and later purchase the building at 46 Barre St., previously St. Michael’s School and convent. Together, they had a vision to transform the building into a thriving hub for music and art education in central Vermont. Though River Rock School has since closed, we are hosting a number of exciting programs and organizations in their former space. The building now houses over 25 artists, writers, nonprofits, and makers.
As CAL continues to grow, so does our programming. We host visual art exhibits in our two art galleries, provide a free swap area we call the SHARE Room, and of course, maintain a full roster of studio artists in the building. We offer fiscal sponsorships to individuals and groups who would like some support for their projects. We are currently re-envisioning our programming for the coming year. If you are interested in being part of CAL’s programming, please contact Phayvanh at [email protected].
