Town of Fairlee

Fairlee Community Arts is an independent organization separate from the town of Fairlee, but the two entities have a collaborative relationship. FCA fundraised, researched, purchased, and oversaw installation of sound, projection, and lighting equipment for the town hall auditorium (at a total cost of over $75,000). The town graciously allows FCA to use the space for a variety of events. Together, we work to promote Fairlee as a vibrant community and improve access to the arts for residents and visitors alike. Fairlee Community Arts says "thank you" to the Town of Fairlee and the people who work in the town hall for their ongoing support.

Production Equipment Campaigns

The community of Fairlee voted for a public bond to restore the town's auditorium, located on the second floor of the Fairlee Town Hall. Following a renovation that addressed accessibility issues, including the installation of an elevator, the auditorium was reopened for public use on July 28, 2018.


In order to reach its full potential for use as a community and performance center, the auditorium needed to be outfitted with various production equipment. Specifically, there were three major systems needed:

SOUND - System installed April 2019

Estimated amount needed to complete project: $28,000
Actual final project cost: $29,796.85

Thank you to all the sound project donors:


PROJECTION - System installed November 2019

Estimated amount needed to complete project: $14,000

Actual final project cost: $17,195.98

Thank you to all the projection project donors:


LIGHTING - System installed July 2021

Estimated amount needed to complete project: $35,000
Actual final project cost: $29,780.80


Thank you to all the lighting project donors:
