Arts and Cultural Events in Brattleboro and Southern Vermont

"Brattleboro's cultural scene is extraordinarily rich in visual arts, music and literature. In our small town (pop. 12,000) you'll find more events each week than you can possibly attend. Every Thursday the Brattleboro Reformer newspaper has a separate arts and entertainment section called "Ovation!" Online, take a look at Brattleboro Tix for events and ticket purchases. Keeping a current schedule of arts events is a full time job. So we have included organizations and regular events with links to their websites. Be sure to visit the Reformer online and Brattleboro Tix for a current look at the latest events.

In June of 2010 American Style Magazine readers voted Brattleboro to be one of the top 25 art destination cities under 100,000 pop. in the United States. They did the same in 2009, 2008 and 2007.... It won't be hard to see why when you visit."
