The Cambridge Arts Council submitted a grant and were awarded $15,000 from the Vermont Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts for the painting of two large, concrete silos in the center of Jeffersonville, VT. The project, deemed The Silo Project, has become the largest painted mural in the state, attracting hundreds of visitors since its completion on August 12, 2016. The artist is Sarah C. Rutherford.

A Rochester, NY-native and a graduate of the University of Vermont, Sarah has painted more than 30 murals around the world, bringing extensive experience to our project. “Vermont is a really important place to me,” said Sarah. “Ultimately, I would like these murals to bring pride to the current residents for the rich history of the generations that came before, and for the beautiful home they are passing down to their children.”
