About the Art Resource Association:
Founded in 1975, the mission of the Art Resource Association (ARA) is to promote and support Central Vermont artists. As part of that mission, the ARA regularly holds group shows in venues in the Central Vermont area, including the Center for Arts and Learning, T.W. Wood Gallery, Vermont State House, Montpelier City Center, and Kellogg-Hubbard Library.
The ARA also provides educational opportunities for both members and the community. Member artists regularly offer art courses and workshops, such as on printmaking, watercolor, photography, and framing.
We believe in the power of art, share it in our community, and know that our work helps make our world a better place.
