The Arts Council of Windham County (ACWC) has announced the first round of grantees for this year’s Brattleboro Town Arts Fund (TAF) program.

Eight community-focused creative initiatives were selected from a competitive field of proposals received in this second year of the Town Arts Fund program. Theatre Adventure’s Spring production Daydreaming: Windows of Imagination has received a creative project grant. TAF promotes the development and presentation of creative projects that contribute positively to the greater community and to the vibrancy and diversity of Brattleboro’s arts and cultural landscape.

Challenges during the pandemic have given Theatre Adventure students with disabilities an opportunity to expand their creative pursuits. Puppetry has been introduced to Theatre Adventure performance troupes as a new storytelling medium using themes of inspiration, imagination, and connectivity. This project will provide Art Boxes with puppetry materials to support continued engagement in online learning and will culminate with three online performances April 14, 15, and 16.
