Next Stage Arts Project

NEFA NEAR funding will support Next Stage Arts Project as we host events featuring the arts, humanities, and partnerships with other community-based organizations. Grant funding will support compensation for our presenters and technicians who make these events possible. Over the next year, Next Stage plans to present at least 70 events including audiences outdoors, online, and in our venue space. We are prepared to adapt our schedule of events to comply with evolving pandemic health and safety guidelines. These events will help keep our southern Vermont community connected through shared experiences, dialogues with presenters, benefits for charitable causes, and educational programming.
