142 Eastern creates inclusive pop-up opportunities for the community to connect around art, food, music, and ideas.
We create space for engagement in St. Johnsbury as it works towards establishing itself as a vehicle for community revitalization!
We strive to maintain a clear focus on the importance of community, with an emphasis on making space to connect mindfully and go beyond the transactional lens that dominates so much of our modern lives.
142 Eastern has hosted over twenty community events this past year, engaging over 900 participants in activities that cultivate appreciation and awareness of the rich resources we have locally.
We are very proud of our entrepreneurial spirit and our flexible, adaptive, scrappy approach, which is so emblematic of the NEK sensibility. This approach has enabled us to deliver a wide variety of powerful placemaking experiences, sit down dinners, interactive art gallery, typewriter station, hands-on experiential learning, kindness rocks, and other opportunities to connect and learn from each other in a way that brings vibrancy to our community.
142 has generated over $10,000 for the creative economy this year for local artists, non-profits, food, and chefs.
