Art in the Heart of Montgomery

Traveling east on Route 118 along the Trout River is a nostalgic scene with covered bridges, barns and mountain views. After a few bends in the road, a clear view of the Montgomery Center for the Arts unfolds. The Greek Revival building was empty the first time Sebastian Araujo saw it when he and his partner moved to town from Provincetown, Mass. The iconic building, perched at the intersection of Main Street and Mountain Road, is a former Baptist Church built in 1866. “These buildings deserve to be restored. They deserve to be cherished. They deserve to be protected,” says Araujo, founding director of the Montgomery Center for the Arts. “And it's really important, because if we don't know where we come from, we don't know who we are in the present.” Since opening six years ago, the Montgomery Center for the Arts has hosted art exhibits, performances, workshops and meditation sessions. Araujo and others have tirelessly volunteered to help repair and preserve the building, organize events and get the word out. https://www.montgomerycenterforthearts.com https://happyvermont.com https://www.patreon.com/happyvermontpodcast

As someone who grew up spending weekends in an old farmhouse in Duxbury, VT and learning to ski at Sugarbush North back when you could get a free ski ticket on President’s Day by reciting the Gettysburg Address at the ticket booth, I absolutely love your podcast! While my mom has since passed, my stepdad still summers in Duxbury and I am continuing the VT legacy with my own home in Chester. There’s not much happening in VT, but always something to look forward to on the next trip.

This podcast highlights Vermont so perfect and makes me wish I was there all the time. I always look forward to the new episodes and my only complaint is that the new episode can’t come fast enough. Keep up the great work!
