The Current, a center for contemporary art in Stowe, Vermont, was established in 1981 with the mission to enhance the human experience through the visual arts. We pursue our mission by offering programming that asserts the value of art and engages both a local and international audience as visitors, volunteers, creators, students, and patrons. The Current is the primary fine arts resource for families in Lamoille County and the surrounding region. We operate with the conviction that meaningful, formative arts experiences should be available and accessible to all people regardless of age, class, race, ability, and geography. Our programming includes art classes and an interpretive learning program that offers multiple modes of engagement to connect audiences with the work we present: workshops, online resources, printed matter, facilitated conversations, a hands-on room, and more.
