 The New Hampshire State Council on the Arts is the state arts agency, providing grants and services to help New Hampshire's artists and arts organizations reach the widest possible audiences with their work. 

The State Arts Council 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 NH State Council on the Arts fulfill its enabling legislation.
