ARTS, CULTURE, & COMMUNITY AT ST ANDREW’S CHURCH

“St. Andrew’s Is Your Place, Too”!

A hearty and whole-hearted “Thank You!” to the Vermont Arts Council for the generous Cultural Facilities grant that has partially funded recently completed renovations to our sanctuary! This generous grant enabled us to bring a full quarter of the space in our sanctuary back into use, both for Sunday services and for Arts & Culture activities. By transforming a space comprised of four short levels of increasing height into one large raised-level of continuous space, we now have a “chapel with a church” for smaller worship services and a wonderfully large and capacious stage for performances. We are very grateful, and look forward to bringing our space into even greater use for participatory arts and community gatherings.

St. Andrew’s long history of presenting the Main Street Arts concerts series before the pandemic has evolved into a combination of concerts and participatory arts and culture activities, many of which are done in partnership with Catamount Arts. From the monthly Community Bluegrass Jam to serving as one of the venues for “First Night North”; from Community Contra Dances to our quarterly Community Sings, from weekly Mindfulness Meditation sessions to the new Community Coffeehouse Concert series, Saint Andrew’s is a welcoming place for arts, culture, and community at the very heart of downtown St. Johnsbury.
