The New Hampshire State Arts Council is a publicly funded agency within
New Hampshire's Department of Cultural Resources. It began in 1965
with
the passage
of
a law designed "to insure that the role of the arts in the life
of our communities will continue to grow and play an ever more significant
part in the education and welfare of our citizens." Funding comes
from state appropriations and from the National Endowment for the Arts.
By law, the Arts Council can also accept private, tax-deductible donations
and bequests.
