Promoting, Supporting and Sustaining           
Arts, Culture and Heritage in the North Country      

Happy summer! We're pleased to present our ArtsNorth e-bulletin for you and your guests, arranged by sub-regions from north to south and by date. During this busy season, with an amazing number of programs throughout our region, we're sending the bulletin every two weeks. Please be sure to confirm details and hours prior to attending events or visiting sites. Use our "jump to" function (in the column to the left under the In This Issue section), which allows you to go directly to your geographic areas of interest. You can view our complete ArtsNorth calendar for additional details, and find events beyond the dates in this bulletin in our Plan-Ahead Arts Calendar. Links to both calendars are available in the Quick Links section. Please note that Arts Alliance member organizations are indicated with our member icon. We appreciate our members, and encourage you to attend their events -- and invite you, too, to join us as an individual, artist, family, business, school or institutional member (see http://aannh.org/membership.php for membership information). You can purchase or renew your membership online.

If your organization is presenting a cultural event, email details to us as early as possible at events@aannh.org and we'll include it in our online calendar and our email bulletins. You can simply add events@aannh.org to your press list. Please take the time to review your listing, both in the bulletin and the online calendar, and forward corrections to events@aannh.org.

The submission deadline for the next bulletin,
covering August 6-19, is July 30.
Be sure to pick up a copy of "Arts, Culture & Heritage in the White Mountains," our brochure highlighting more than 30 Arts Alliance member organizations, large and small, and the performances and events they're presenting. Let us know if you need multiple copies for guests. Our thanks to Northway Bank, whose support has made this year's brochure possible.

Wednesday, July 22, 7:30pm - The Great Sheep Boom and Its Enduring Legacy on the NH Landscape
In a brief 30-year period in the early 19th century the New Hampshire countryside became home to hundreds of thousands of sheep. Production of wool became a lucrative business, generating fortunes and providing the only era of true agricultural prosperity in the state's history. It left behind a legacy of fine architecture and thousands of miles of rugged stone walls. Farmers overcame enormous challenges to make sheep husbandry succeed, but forces from beyond New Hampshire were to doom the industry, with social consequences that would last a century. Steve Taylor presents this program, held at the Ladd Street Schoolhouse, County Road. For more information, call John Page. A New Hampshire Humanities Council program, free and open to the public.
