Greetings!
When the May festivities of the Business in the Arts Awards are concluded and the last the details are wrapped up, the unique offering of summer events beckon us. Outdoor sculpture, summer theater and arts markets at farmers markets are a welcome addition to an already culturally rich experience the rest of the year. Some things, like summer theater, are a long-standing tradition in the state but the expansion of others like outdoor sculpture and the arts markets have been enhanced by local creative efforts that work to promote the rich artistic and cultural life that is celebrated by
citizens through appreciation, awareness, participation and dialogue in support of arts. The NHBCA was founded on the belief that art is of economic benefit as well as of enhancing quality of life and it has been gratifying to work with many of the creative communities' efforts.
The mission of the NHBCA is to educate, motivate and recognize business support of and in the arts. Your support of the arts allows us to encourage the diversity of the arts and the richness of the state's culture all year long.

National Governor's Association Endorses Using Arts, Culture to Stimulate Economic Development
Fostering the arts and culture sector has played a vital role in state economic development, according to a report from the National Governors Association Center for Best (NGA Center).
Arts and culture-related industries, collectively known as "creative industries," provide economic benefits to states and communities by creating jobs, attracting and generating tax revenues and stimulating tourism and consumer purchases.

NH Summer Theaters Featured in NH Magazine
NH Magazine - New Hampshire theaters offer top-notch plays in towns where theater is a part of the community. And the actors who just thrilled you could easily end up enjoying an after-show drink in the booth next to yours. Geographically, New Hampshire may be off, off, off, off Broadway, but many would argue the theater experience here is as good or better than what you'd get in the dog days on the Great White Way.
