After days of counting, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are declared the presumptive winners of both the popular and electoral college votes for the President and Vice-President of the United States. Spontaneous celebrations broke out from 11 in the morning to nightfall in cities around the country, including Burlington, VT. This is a compilation of crowdsourced footage from around Burlington on that Saturday.

Many thanks to Kara Greenblott and Mary Olive Smith for their hard work in putting together this amazing video featuring members of the Howard Center’s Arts Collective!

The Arts Collective is an alternative arts program that promotes wellness, self-esteem, and dignity by creating a safe and nurturing space for artists to: make art, exchange ideas, learn new techniques, experience a supportive connection with other artists, and exhibit their artwork in public galleries and spaces.

Our community is open to adult artists who have lived experience with mental health challenges or addiction, either through their own personal lived experience, experience with family members or friends, or through their work. Artists of all levels are welcome.

Please email us at artscollective@howardcenter.org or find us online at https://howardcenter.org/mental-health/community-support/howard-center-arts-collective/ 

Breathe, sing, and move with Halloween and fall themed songs.

Host Melinda Moulton is joined by Pastor Josh Riggs to discuss Church at Prison. The Church at Prison is a non-profit organization that provides spiritual ministry to prison inmates inside the Vermont state prisons as well as providing assistance for those transitioning back into society.
