Wrapping up 2023

2023 included securing $150k for HANNAH GRIMES in federal funds (SBA’s GAFC), onboarding new partners from around the U.S. for a national network, hiring an architect and designer for the LATCHIS ARTS movie theatre redesign project, and securing funding and collaborations with 8 sponsors in order to film and edit my WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT VIDEO SERIES.

Not to mention a little project with the wonderful NEXT STAGE ARTS in Putney. They had a unique project that was stalled which required some creative and some technical skills - so sign me up! Keep an eye out in the their lobby for a large book, created using projection and other technology that you’ll be able to touch and interact with!

The workforce development video series funders/sponsors/distributors include

Vermont Tourism, Vermont Dept of Labor with the Vermont State Workforce Development Board, BDCC/ SeVEDS (Brattleboro Development Credit Corporation/Southeastern Vermont Economic Development Strategy), The Thompson Trust, George W. Mergens Foundation, Brattleboro Savings & Loan, McClure Foundation (part of Vermont Community Foundation), and Vermont Future Project.  

I’m holding off releasing them until later this year with my eye on a bigger collaborations to distribute the content. More soon!
