BCA Needed a Home; Mascoma Provided the Key

Doreen Kraft, executive director, Burlington City Arts
Making art accessible to all has been the mission of Burlington City Arts since it was founded in the 1980s, when Bernie Sanders was mayor of the Queen City.
A department of the City of Burlington, BCA meets its mission in partnership with the BCA Foundation, a nonprofit that fundraises to support exhibitions, events, public art and education programs — BCA offers classes and camps that teach everything from screen printing to pottery-making.
For years, the BCA offices and classrooms were housed at Memorial Auditorium. But when the building was deemed unsafe in 2016, executive director Doreen Kraft had to find a new home. She toured storefronts, office buildings and church basements. “We could not find the volume of space we needed in Burlington that would be affordable,” Kraft recalls.
