Southern Vermont Arts Center
860 Southern Vermont Arts Center Drive Manchester , VT 05254
Located on a picturesque hillside west of Manchester Center , the Southern Vermont Arts Center ( SVAC ) is one of Vermont ’ s most well-respected institutions . The original structure on the SVAC campus was built on a 400- acre estate . The property served as the home of Gertrude Divine Webster in the early 20th century , an affluent socialite and patron of the arts who enjoyed spending time there during the summer . Gertrude was an enthusiastic supporter of Southern Vermont ’ s artistic community , and she owned an extensive private collection of artisan Vermont-made glass .
In 1950 , the Southern Vermont Artists acquired the property , which has since become SVAC ’ s permanent home . Today , the SVAC campus encompasses 120 acres of pristine forest and meadowland . It is home to the stunning Stroup Family Sculpture Park , which is the largest sculpture park in Vermont . The SVAC sculpture park features dozens of phenomenal artworks from artists such as Zac Ward , Vaughn Randall , Paul Higham , Pat Musick , and Abby Golodik , among others . Many of the sculptures at the Stroup Family
