THE
CIVIC STANDARD
Grand and tiny experiments in ​
getting together
The Civic Standard is a weekly 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.
Every Wednesday, all are invited to our town-wide dinner party on Main Street.

WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW
The Civic creates inclusive events for everyone. From live theater to free weekly meals, from teenage collective organizing to karaoke night, from mending circles to town-wide dances, we are working together to build a common culture.
Honky Tonk Night
at the Legion
Get out your boots and sequins, and join us at the Hardwick American Legion for another Honky Tonk dance! Our band of local hotshots will keep the classic country coming until every heart in the room is broke. Cash bar, exciting snacks, and our guarantee: at least two steps. Doors at 7, lesson at 7:30, dance at 8. Don't miss it!
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.
