House concurrent resolution celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Vermont Arts Exchange and its collaborative artistic endeavors

This House Concurrent Resolution (HCR 79) is a ceremonial resolution celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Vermont Arts Exchange (VAE), a nonprofit arts organization based in Bennington. It does not create new laws or policies; instead, it formally recognizes VAE’s history of community-focused arts programming and collaborative projects since its founding in 1993. The resolution directs the Secretary of State to send a copy to VAE and the Bennington Museum, where VAE’s anniversary events are being held. It specifically acknowledges VAE’s work in arts education, affordable artist housing, environmental art projects, and its national/international reach. As a procedural resolution, it has no direct policy impact beyond symbolic recognition.
