🚨NH ARTS NEED YOUR VOICE! 🚨

NH ARTS ARE ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK – The proposed NH state budget slashes arts funding by up to 46% over the next two years—putting essential programs, grants, and arts organizations like The Colonial at risk.

📉 This includes the Public Value Partnership Program, which directly supports The Colonial and other vital arts nonprofits across the state. These funds help sustain our programming, bring world-class performances to our stage, and strengthen NH’s creative economy (worth $3.4 billion!).

❗Without this funding, the arts in NH will suffer—impacting youth programs, artists, audiences, and the cultural vibrancy of our communities.

📢 We need your voice! Contact your NH House Representatives and the House Finance Committee ASAP and ask them to support full restoration of the Arts Council’s non-federal grants line at 1,010,000/year for RY2026 and FY2027. A few minutes of advocacy can help protect the future of the arts in our state.
