Best Cities to Experience Art Around the Globe

West Rutland, Vermont

Before even mentioning the art that makes Vermont a delightful destination, it is worth noting that the state is a charming, if not perpetually underrated, destination for travel. Nestled in central Vermont, a quick Google search for West Rutland immediately highlights the town’s art park, which is actually a backyard converted into a public sculpture garden featuring works from artists who have exhibited the world over. Dive deeper into the area’s artistic pursuits and it is plain to see from the independent art centers and patronized galleries that this small Vermont village is dedicated to cultivating a sense of beauty that complements the splendor of the natural landscape.

Step into the Carving Studio & Sculpture Center or journey to the ironworks forgery to see sculptors in action. Take a trip into the past and visit the Chaffee Art Center, which offers a blend of local history and the work of current artists all located in an 1890’s Queen Anne Victorian mansion at the the heart of the township.
