Artists, musicians, vocalists, dancers, actors, performers, writers, poets and craftspeople can register and participate in the 17th Annual ArtWeek 2021, celebrating the diversity in and of the arts!

This will be an opportunity for you to share your preferred creative art form and medium to a broad virtual audience. Throughout the week, and throughout each day on Access Nashua Community Television, City Arts Nashua’s website and social media there will be profiles of artists and their works, with posts about each artist to be displayed on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube.

As in 2020, you will have an opportunity to have a video produced of your art in your studio or by interview with Access Nashua Community Television staff either at your home/studio or at their Nashua studios. You may already have a video of your work or performances recorded, and if so, we’d love for you to share it! If you created a video with us and Access Nashua Community Television last year and would like to have it updated, you may! If you have new work, new platforms you display your work on, or new contact information to share for the web page we created for you, this is the time to share that content, also. See our website for video submission guidelines and specifications.

Get a jump on it! Our event is coming up soon!
Register as soon as possible for scheduling videos. Programs created will be broadcast on Access Nashua during the week of October 16th through October 23rd and streamed there. Videos will be posted on our YouTube channel and shared across our social media platforms.

It promotes, advocates, networks, produces events and projects, fundraises, and provides fiscal sponsorships. In addition, City Arts Nashua works closely with the Nashua Arts Commission, with local arts individuals and groups, community organizations, business, government and with State and national arts organizations. Among other events, City Arts Nashua produces ArtWalk, Nashua’s most celebrated art event every fall, now in its 17thyear, and the Meri Goyette Art Awards and Luncheon, recognizing contributions to the arts of non-artist community members and organizations, now in its 8th year. City Arts Nashua restored three important murals in Nashua, including, in 2016 Margaret’s View of Nashua by renowned artist Lucienne Bloch; in 2013, Vivian’s Dream, by Nashua mural artist Barbara Andrews; and, in 2015, the Yankee Flyer Diner by Nashua native and former Artist Laureate of New Hampshire, James Aponovich.
