About MSAC Classes

We have dozens of weekly class series happening in-person at MSAC and online (Zoom, phone option also available), with many available "hybrid" -- both in-person and online. Two thirds are movement classes; the remainder are in the Arts, Humanities, and Writing. Many classes are also open to people under age 50 and/or people who live in other towns in- or out-of-state. 

Please contact nmaurice@montpelier-vt.org if you have questions or need help to enroll. If you’re running into any problems with the online system related to fees or membership, just let us know.
