The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) awarded a $939,200 Project Grant to the Department of Cultural Resources New Hampshire Arts Division, doing business as the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts, to support arts programs, services, and activities associated with carrying out the agency's NEA-approved strategic plan. The award, covering the period from July 1, 2023 to December 31, 2024, will enable the Council to work with regional arts organizations in New Hampshire to provide services and programming that promote civic engagement and public access related to the arts. This award is provided under the NEA's Promotion of the Arts Partnership Agreements (CFDA 45.025) federal grant program, which aims to develop and maintain partnerships with state and regional arts agencies to advance the mission of the NEA. Previous awards under this program have supported the Council's implementation of its NEA-approved strategic plan through partnerships with regional entities to increase access to the arts statewide.
