New Hampshire Orgs Receive Arts In Health, Youth Project Grants

CONCORD, NH — The New Hampshire State Council on the Arts issued $118,955 in grants for cultural organizations in the state that both support young people and those with chronic health conditions.

The grants were issued to two sectors: The 2021 Arts in Health and Youth Arts. The health grants support activities in health care facilities and social service agencies that focus on recovery, rehabilitation, and other underserved populations, according to the council. The youth projects are educational in nature — with a focus on creative problem solving and positive forms of expression.

Orgs receiving the health grants, in and around Patch communities, include Articine in Newfields; Building Community in New Hampshire in Manchester; Connections Peer Support Center in Portsmouth; the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester; the Granite VNA in Concord; the Nashua Community Music School; the New Hampshire Theatre Project in Portsmouth; the Racial Unity Team in Stratham; and Victory Women of Vision of Manchester. Youth art grants orgs, in and around Patch communities, include the Hopkinton School District/SAU66 in Contoocook; United Way of Greater Nashua; and Webster School Elementary School in Manchester.
