What our community is saying

"Your commitment to exploration, expression, and inclusion reflects the very best of Burlington. By supporting local artists, hosting events, and creating safe, supportive spaces for growth, you're helping shape a city that values not only art but the people who create it."

Mayor Marianne Meed Ward, Burlington

"Events like the Art Walk strengthen the cultural fabric of our city, and Shop Time Studios is proud to support and be part of it. The Elizabeth Gardens Creative Collective is making a lasting impact, and we look forward to partnering again."

William Nelsen, Shop Time Studios

"The support from the committee and guidance leading up to the event and then on event day was incredible. It was really well organized, tons of volunteers lending a helping hand. We really enjoyed our first experience and hope to be a part of this community again next year."
