Arts Partners

The NH State Council on the Arts works with a wide variety of non-arts organizations, such as schools, state agencies, health care and nursing facilities, community organizations, historical societies, history & farm museums, agricultural fairs, libraries, main street programs, and municipalities. We call these our Arts Partners. Support is available to provide arts experiences that enrich the quality of life in communities throughout the state so that students and community members may engage in and enjoy arts experiences with NH artists.
