The firm is excited to announce that this year’s Art+Soul beneficiary will be Champlain Housing Trust and will feature more art from local artists, all inspired by CHT’s mission, which is to provide affordable housing opportunities for Vermonters in Chittenden, Grand Isle and Franklin Counties. This year’s celebration will take place on June 5th from 6-9 p.m. at the SRH Law office.

Over the last twelve years, our law firm has been privileged to work with people all around Vermont who are engaged in creative and meaningful enterprises that make a real difference in our communities. Helping these inspiring individuals, nonprofits, and businesses succeed is what makes the practice of law so fulfilling for all of us at the firm.

We created Art+Soul to celebrate their good work, raise money for great causes, and help people forge new connections in Vermont’s vibrant creative economy. Each year, Art+Soul benefits a different local nonprofit and features local art inspired by, or connected to, the nonprofit’s mission. All art will be sold, and proceeds from art sales will be split between the artists and the nonprofit.

Visit the Art+Soul Facebook page for more details on the event and for photos from the first two years of Art+Soul. Don’t forget to Like the page to keep updated on this year’s celebration, including sneak previews of the art.

Call to artists – Artist Open House on April 16

Art+Soul is seeking submissions of creative pieces in any medium. The artwork does not need to be newly-created work; it just needs to be related to Champlain Housing Trust’s mission.

Champlain Housing Trust will host an Artist Open House on April 16th from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Rose Street Artist Co-op & Gallery at 78 Rose Street in Burlington, VT. Enjoy a fun evening with hors d’oeuvres and learn more about how to submit creative pieces that are inspired by, or connected to, the mission of this year’s beneficiary. A link to the artist submission form can be found on the Art+Soul website.
