Here are a few things you can do today to support Concord's creative economy

New Hampshire's creative economy generates audiences for our theaters, the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen, municipal opera houses, Furniture Masters, state parks, and others. Arts and culture organizations contribute over $53 million annually to the state's economy and audiences contribute another $62 million (should probably cite the source here). The arts are a critical part of our economy and how we see ourselves. So many studies have shown that teaching the arts helps children understand academics better, be more tolerant, and embrace creativity. They go on to be the entrepreneurs, business leaders, and community leaders who fuel our economy. Arts4NH is a state-wide voice for arts and creativity, advocating for the value of the arts and culture to NH’s economic, educational and social well-being.
