Community, Arts & Culture.

The Double E is your new home for arts & culture! From live music shows to lectures, lifestyle events, classes and private parties, or just hanging at the bar after work with friends, we’re here to nurture and grow our shared community with you.

Located on The Essex Experience campus in the heart of Chittenden County, we are just 20 minutes from downtown Burlington, 30 minutes from St. Albans, and about 40 minutes from Montpelier and Stowe.

Our user-friendly customer experience makes it well worth the extra few minutes in the car:

  • Safe, worry-free location

  • Abundant, free on-site parking

  • Shop while you are here at Hannaford, ACE Hardware, Uncommon Coffee, Magic Mann Premium Cannabis, multiple restaurants, breweries, lifestyle shops, an ATM, Essex Cinema and more!

MISSION

Our mission includes an earnest focus on addressing the needs and desires of our community through our programming. We believe in providing an inclusive, accessible environment that not only accepts, but actively embraces everybody and their unique, quirky, wonderfully weird and individual selves… but we will not tolerate bigotry, meanness or hate of any kind.

We believe we are all stronger together, and in our efforts to foster and nurture community, we provide educational experiences and opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds and strive to do so while running a business that is as sustainable and ecologically friendly as we can make it.

We know these are lofty, idealistic goals, and we understand they can only be achieved through sincere, concerted effort. We will always do our best in this endeavor, but we are flawed humans like everybody else you know… so if we ever fall short of the mark, we welcome and encourage your feedback!
