Greenwall Auditorium was full to busting when eight performers from Bread + Puppet Theater took the stage on the evening of Thursday, April 3.

Bennington College is excited to announce the launch of its groundbreaking ArtRX program, a pilot initiative designed to explore the transformative power of the arts on mental well-being. Inspired by the growing Social-Prescribing model, this unique program combines community-based arts events with social processing sessions to offer eight students a pathway to better mental health. The work is supported by The Endeavor Foundation as a part of a grant to the Endeavor Lab Colleges.
