Our Purpose

Our organization archives and promotes original Vermont-made music. As part of that work we operate a community radio station. We have weekly musical performances in our ground-level broadcast studio. We've created a pocket park outside our window so the neighborhood can experience live local music in a safe way during the pandemic and into the future. Our studio is located in a light industrial building that is central to Burlington's South End Arts District; many people walk by. We also operate a tiny museum. Our organization is all-volunteer-run. Support would help us plant a garden in and around our pocket park/picnic table area. We'd work with the children's art classes next door to design beds and plant flowers.
