As we celebrate 20 years, CCS is renovating the Historic Telegraph Building, which will join the Old Post Office building that CCS purchased and renovated 13 years ago. Together, these two historic sites will provide a permanent home for our programs, partnerships, and community connection and engagement.

This transformational Campus Renewal Project will culminate in a two- building historic campus that is fully accessible and climate-resilient, ensuring that CCS can continue to enrich the cultural and economic vitality of the region, serve as a cornerstone of Vermont’s arts ecosystem, and support a community of cartoonists whose work reaches audiences worldwide.
