WHAT'S THE

GRANT?

WHAT'S THE

GOAL?

Wilmington Works was awarded an Animating Infrastructure grant by the Vermont Arts Council in May of 2019. This is a competitive grant program designed to help communities incorporate art into their built environment.

The grant is site-specific: that is, we were awarded the grant specifically in order to commission a high quality work of art for this site.

Public art is a way to beautify the spaces we pass by every day.

​

The goal of the Beaver Street Art Project is to commission a work of art that will:

• Make our village more beautiful.

• Create a destination and stopping point in Wilmington.

• Pull the community together and reflect our historical sense of place

• Give value to our community.

• Integrate the Beaver Street neighborhood into the flow of community activities.
