CreativeGround--New England's regional directory that spotlights cultural nonprofits, creative businesses, and professional artists--is buzzing with activity.
The Vermont Arts Council has adopted CreativeGround as their new arts directory, and Vermonters have responded by updating or adding close to 500 profiles on the site!
Venue accessibility options are now available on profiles (thanks to guidance from the NEA), and CreativeGround staff encourages users to highlight the accessibility of their services and venues.
Future site improvements include additional arts discipline selections and ways to highlight education and training. These ideas were generated by site users, who are encouraged to share feedback.
