Pass admits an MCL patron and their guests to the galleries.

The Southern Vermont Arts Center (SVAC) is a vibrant destination for art, nature, and cultural exploration, nestled on over 120 acres of picturesque forestland in Manchester, Vermont. Originally a private estate built in 1917, the campus now features multiple galleries—including the historic Yester House and the contemporary Wilson Museum—hosting rotating exhibitions of regional and national artists. Visitors can enjoy original, for-sale artwork in a variety of mediums, explore a permanent collection featuring notable American artists, and shop for locally made gifts and prints in the museum store.

SVAC also offers outdoor experiences through Vermont’s largest sculpture park and an extensive trail network with scenic views of the Green and Taconic Mountains. Whether you’re picnicking, strolling among large-scale sculptures, or hiking toward the summit of Equinox Mountain, SVAC blends artistic enrichment with natural beauty. It’s an ideal destination for all ages to engage with the arts, discover something new, and connect with the landscape.
