PASSAGES
Island Arts mourns a founder. Ann Rose Ratner Porter died in March at age 84. Her passing marks the loss of a powerful force behind Vermont's creative community. After serving in India in the Peace Corps, she was the librarian at the Folsom School and later the museum director of UVM's Fleming Museum. Then, as a founder of Island Arts, she helped turn a small local vision into a welcoming space where artists, students, and neighbors could gather, learn, and feel inspired. Her belief that the arts should be accessible to everyone shaped the organization's mission and left a lasting imprint on the islands she loved.
