About
the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts
The New
Hampshire State Council on the Arts is the advisory Council
for the Division of the Arts within the Department of Cultural
Resources. It was established in 1965 as the official state
arts agency with legislation (RSA 19-A) designed "to
insure that the role of the arts in the life of our communities
will continue to grow and play an ever more significant part
in the welfare and educational experience of our citizens."
Funding
comes from appropriations from the Governor and the New Hampshire
State Legislature and from the National Endowment for the
Arts, a federal agency supported with appropriations from
the President and the United States Congress. The State of
New Hampshire also accepts private, tax-deductible donations
and bequests that may be designated for the sole purpose of
helping the Arts Council fulfill its enabling legislation.
