Welcome to Brattleboro Arts Initiative

For ten years Brattleboro Arts Initiative has provided leadership and advocacy for the arts in Southern Vermont. 

In 2003 BAI acquired the Latchis Hotel and Theatre and since then we have been renovating and restoring this art deco gem.  The property houses a 30 room boutique hotel and four theatres, one of which, a grand old movie palace, is complete with Greek statuary and hand painted murals depicting Greek mythology.  Come visit – it’s worth a trip from anywhere.

We boast a unique structure as a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the care and well-being of the for-profit Latchis Corporation.  Latchis Corporation oversees the for-profit businesses which then return revenue to the local economy.  It is truly a creative concept!

 


Spellcheck 2010 coming on April 3!

Have To Help Haiti

BAI and Brattleboro send $9000 to Haiti

I would like to thank all the people who attended the Have to Help Haiti concert at Brattleboro's Latchis Theatre. You all made a big impact on this important humanitarian effort and we love you for it. Brattleboro Arts Initiative and Vermont Jazz Center are proud to announce that $9,000 was raised for Pure Water for the World's ongoing efforts in Haiti. (You can still donate and find out more about PWW at havetohelphaiti.org.)

Huge thanks also to the amazing and dedicated musicians, Samirah Evans, Charles Neville, Ayizan and Azouke Sanon, Eugene Uman, and Simba, and to the great band members, sound man, lighting and stage directors, BAI, VJC, and Latchis boards and staff, and everyone else who donated their time and talent to make this event a total success. Go Brattleboro!
