II8 Elliot is a collaborative environment for the creative arts and education. Programming includes film showings, gallery exhibitions, musical performances and conferences as well as physical culture classes. 118 Elliot also provides a modern, fully accessible space in the heart of historic downtown Brattleboro for community use at affordable rates. It is home to the National Endowment for the Humanities-supported Brattleboro Words Project and has its interactive Brattleboro Words Trail landscape mural maps and community audio stories as a permanent exhibit until the murals move to the new Brattleboro Amtrak station opening late 2024.
