Founded more than thirty years ago, Burlington City Arts has evolved considerably from its humble beginnings in the basement of City Hall. It was established in 1981, by then-mayor Bernie Sanders as part of the all-volunteer Mayor’s Arts Council. Its first offices were located inside a janitor’s closet.  After years of successfully producing city-wide events and cultural programs on a modest budget, the BCA came into its own in 1995, when it assumed responsibility for the renovation of a four-story firehouse in Burlington’s industrial South End neighborhood and began its programming. The BCA presents emerging and established artists, with a newly instated focus on local artists showing and curating the work of others. Additionally, it presents screenings, concerts, and performances, both on-site and at partner organizations throughout Vermont, and produces publications to document and contextualize its activities.


“The Warhol Foundation aims to support the full range of artistic activity in America—from exhibitions at major museums to neighborhood projects by artist collectives. Arts writers, through the range and specialization of their individual interests, touch upon all of this activity—illuminating and interrogating it and bringing it into conversation with the public. Support for artists is not complete without support for the circulation and serious consideration of their ideas. The Arts Writers Grant program keeps artists at the center of cultural dialogue and debate—in our opinion, right where they belong.”
