On March 13, the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts is hosting a special event in Concord to discuss how New Hampshire’s nonprofit cultural organizations impact the state’s economy.
“Creative Solutions: A look at the economic impact of New Hampshire’s cultural nonprofits” takes place from 1 to 3:30 p.m. in the Capitol Center for the Arts’ Governor’s Hall. Community and business leaders, city planners, culture and tourism providers, arts administrators, arts and cultural organizations, artists, patrons and others who are interested in how culture supports New Hampshire’s economy are encouraged to attend.
Randy Cohen, vice president of research and policy for Americans for the Arts and one of the country’s most-noted experts in the field of using the arts to address community development issues, will present information from the recent “Arts & Economic Prosperity IV” report, which for the first time included statewide data from New Hampshire. Five New Hampshire communities also participated in the survey for more detailed findings: the city of Portsmouth, the city of Rochester, Greater Concord, Newmarket and the Arts Alliance of Northern New Hampshire for the North Country.
“Creative Solutions: A look at the economic impact of New Hampshire’s cultural nonprofits” is open to the public. Please RSVP to Julianne Morse at the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts, julianne.morse@dcr.nh.gov, 271-0791.
