Collective Earns Vermont State Craft Gallery Status.

The Collective joins Frog Hollow Craft Center in Burlington, the Artisans Hand in Montpelier, the Gallery at the VAULT in Springfield, and the Northeast Kingdom Artisans Guild in St. Johnsbury as Vermont's only Designated State Craft Center Galleries. An additional designation for State Craft Education Centers includes the Shelburne Craft School in Shelburne, the Vermont Woodworking School in Fairfax and the Fletcher Farm School for the Arts and Crafts in Ludlow..

Galleries and education centers that apply for state designation are judged on a variety of measures, including the diversity and quality of work displayed in galleries and the breadth and quality of class offerings in education organizations.
