Monument Arts & Cultural Center, formerly known through the Bennington Center for the Arts, is a useful stop if you want Bennington's current arts scene rather than only its Revolutionary War and old New England history. The centre sits on Gypsy Lane, north of the main village core, and combines galleries with live performance, workshops, and community programming.
It is not as essential as the Bennington Museum or the battle monument, but it earns its place for travellers who like small regional arts venues. Check the schedule before going, because the experience changes with the exhibition calendar, concerts, juried shows, and theatre events.
