The Vision
The CreateVT vision describes the Vermont that we love, the Vermont that we believe in, and the Vermont that we will work toward. It is a tapestry woven from thousands of individual ideas and visions, many of which are sprinkled throughout the CreateVT Action Plan. It describes many things that already exist and also what is possible: that Vermont’s communities, people and businesses will thrive because of our investments in creativity.
The three visions below set the stage for our goals, strategies, and actions. Click on the link to learn about the vision’s goals and recommended strategies for achieving the goals.
Arts, culture, & creativity are essential Vermont infrastructure
Arts, culture and creativity are just as essential to Vermont’s future as roads, bridges and broadband. When we prioritize them as such, we will see a corresponding increase in statewide investment and resources, enabling policies, and education for the creative sector.
Vermont communities thrive through creative expression & enterprise
Creativity is at the center of thriving, healthy, and equitable communities. When we foster local creative enterprises, infrastructure, leadership and collaborations, it pays off in community building, problem solving, vibrancy, livability, and economic benefits.
Creative enterprises succeed in a diverse, equitable, connected, & collaborative environment
A strong creative sector means thriving creative people, entrepreneurs, businesses, and organizations. We must dismantle inequitable systems, increase access to resources, and promote a diverse creative sector that includes underrepresented groups like people of color, indigenous people, LGBTQIA2S+, new Americans, migrant workers, and people with disabilities.
