St. Johnsbury’s own Catamount Arts center has joined forces with the Colonial Theatre in Bethlehem, New Hampshire. Members of either organization can now enjoy reciprocal benefits on both sides of the river.
Catamount Arts has been an important force in St. Johnsbury’s cultural scene since 1975. The non-profit organization provides programming in the arts for area residents, visitors, and schoolchildren. Catamount Arts shows two foreign/independent films each week and holds regular gallery showings of area artists’ works. The organization sponsors a series of live performances, both for area schools as well as the general community. Its building on Eastern Avenue houses two movie theaters, an 80-seat performance space, two classrooms, and gallery space.
