Mission: Burlington City Arts'' mission is to sustain and enhance the artistic life of the Greater Burlington area. BCA implements its mission by: offering arts in education opportunities through programming, residence, and outreach; serving as the City''s cultural planner by making the arts integral to the area''s economic and educational development and its urban design; Fostering partnerships among the arts, education, human service and business communities; recognizing and meeting our area''s cultural needs through quality arts programming that benefits all members of the community; Supporting Vermont artists and the region''s burgeoning talent.
Programs: In 1995, BCA won permission from the City of Burlington to convert the ground floor of the former firehouse building (now the Firehouse Center) into a fine arts gallery on a trial basis. Since then, the Gallery has blossomed into Vermont?s premiere location for contemporary art. Securing and exhibiting national-level artists from Vermont and elsewhere, the Gallery?s mission is to bring a unique arts experience to the public that will challenge, teach and engage.
