VISITING NECCA

Brattleboro, our home town, is a vibrant community of 12,000. It’s a rural location, so transportation is a little different than a larger city. We have a reliable, old-fashioned taxi service, and a budding two car Uber service. Join our Destination NECCA page on Facebook for local resources and the latest on how you can make your trip to Brattleboro unforgettable!

NECCA’s main campus is now located at 10 Town Crier Drive, Brattleboro, Vermont. Some classes are held at the Winston-Prouty Campus Gymnasium located at 60 Austine Drive also in Brattleboro. Please check your class or workshop description for your class location.
