THE
CIVIC STANDARD
Grand and tiny experiments in ​
getting together
The Civic Standard is a collaborative social and cultural art project in Hardwick, Vermont. We are rooted in and listening to our town, Through theater, social exchanges, food, cooperative organizing, music, education and play, the Civic is an honest and humble effort to tear down barriers between neighbors and to build local resiliency. We believe that the richest cultural experiences are made from the inside-out, and we work with our neighbors to revive local traditions and build new kinds of events that are of interest to all of us.
