Located in Stowe, Vermont, The Current was established in 1981, growing out of a community project to save a historic building and use it for the benefit of the community. It provides year-round visual art exhibitions in its galleries and annual outdoor sculpture show, Exposed; public programs such as lectures, panels, and film screenings primarily linked to exhibitions; and progressive and innovative arts education programs for all ages.

“Our grantees range from small arts organizations with one staff member to major museums, yet they all provide essential resources for artists as well as innovative platforms for critical cultural dialogue. Creative risk-taking is at the heart of this country’s most meaningful social, political, and cultural developments, therefore we are proud to stand behind artist-centered organizations that support experimental practice.”
Joel Wachs, President
