THE
CIVIC STANDARD
Grand and tiny experiments in
getting together
The Civic Standard is a free supper club, a public living room and a collaborative art project in Hardwick, Vermont.
We are rooted in and listening to our town, always trying to reflect it back on itself.

About
Building a
resilient community
THROUGH SHARED EXPERIENCES
The Civic Standard was born from the idea that people want to gather with their neighbors, both the ones they know and the ones they haven’t met. We believe that the richest cultural experiences are made from the inside-out, and we work with our neighbors to build events that are of interest to all of us. Stop by or reach out. The door is open.
