Workshops Dates:
Save the date! January 28 - February 2, 2025
Location: Bennington, Vermont
Every two years, North Country offers thirteen simultaneous workshops in January in Bennington, Vermont.
All workshops take place in the Visual and Performing Arts building (VAPA) on the campus of Bennington College. Faculty members are recruited from around the United States, and each of them has won recognition both for artistic achievement and for teaching excellence.
These are all hands-on workshops. Workshop descriptions suggest the level of skill required. Some are for intermediate or advanced students only, while others are open to all artists, including those who may specialize in another area but want to experiment in that particular medium.
