SVAC to break ground on Orton collection wing in June
The Southern Vermont Arts Center (SVAC) will break ground in June on a $14.5-million, 12,000-square-foot addition to its historic Yester Building in Manchester, Vermont, with completion expected in June 2026. The new wing will house the Lyman Orton Collection, "For the Love of Vermont," featuring over 250 pieces of art from the 1920s to the 1960s, alongside contemporary exhibitions and traveling shows. The project also includes an ADA elevator, climate-controlled storage, an outdoor space, a roof terrace, and expanded dining at the curATE Cafe.
