Sustainable Rutland and its member organizations are proud to announce our Trash to Art Competition. Learning to Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle is an important part of everyone’s life and an essential component of a healthy environment. This project encourages everyone - no matter your experience or lack of experience with art - to turn Trash into Art and have fun doing it!
This is an art contest and exhibit of durable art of any size made from found objects, surplus materials, used items, recyclables, garbage or anything else that might find its way into our landfills.
All submissions will be judged and exhibited during Friday Night Live, 6:00pm - 10pm on Friday August 14, 2009 in Downtown Rutland. This is an outdoor, rain or shine event with tents and some indoor locations provided for submissions.
Sustainable Rutland is a committee of the Rutland Creative Economy. For more information : www.sustainablerutland.org or info@sustainablerutland.org.

Everyone is Invited! July 27th, 2009
Second Castleton Community Planning Public Input Session
Thank you to everyone who attended the forum on May 4th!
Your feedback was clear: Castleton is a growing town with great potential for economic development, increased tourism, a diversity of housing options, and a strong community identity.
There are some remaining questions that need to be answered before the town plan can be revised, which we hope to address at the next community planning forum. Join us in the Castleton State College Castleton Hall Multipurpose Room, located on the first floor of the new dorm adjacent to the Fitness Center. We will continue our conversation about Castleton’s future by envisioning the best possible growth and development scenario for our town. The forum will explore important questions, such as:
- What types of economic development are most desirable for Castleton?
- How will we ensure that future growth reflects Castleton’s rural and historic identities?
- How can we encourage partnerships between the town and the college community?
- Where exactly should growth occur?
