Rutland Creative Economy Effort

What is the Creative Economy?

The Creative Economy hinges upon our community’s creativity and cultural uniqueness. It is the foundation of our local economy that thrives upon inventiveness, innovation, imagination, inspiration, and ingenuity.

Who We Are

The Rutland Creative Economy is a group of dedicated volunteers focused on bringing people together in the Rutland Region around a set of common goals. We further these goals through the work of four independent committees.

Our Goals
  • To shift the “culture” of decision-making in Rutland through Community Engagement.
  • To stimulate local economic development.
  • To develop a “sense of place” within the Rutland community.
  • To involve youth in all aspects of Creative Economy efforts.

Our Committees

We have four active committees focusing on specific projects around the region. To read up on our major projects, visit the links below.

Volunteering with the Rutland Creative Economy

Our Committees are founded on the energy and talents of volunteers, and we are always looking to include more people in our efforts. To learn about how you can get involved, contact our coordinator.
