ARTS ALIVE

About Us

Arts Alive is a 501(c)3 nonprofit arts service organization committed to igniting creativity and sparking connections.  Access to arts, culture, and creativity is a human right. 

We are stepping into the future of our mission by holding space to nurture leaders and instigators, creators, and culture-bearers who ignite creativity in others by sharing their inspiration, curiosity, knowledge, process, and creations. 

We nurture them so they will spark others to dream, create, and engage.

NEW HAMPSHIRE'S CULTURAL CORNER

The Monadnock Region has been dubbed New Hampshire’s Cultural Corner for a reason. Creativity flourishes around the mountain from the city of Keene to the Souhegan River. Arts Alive enhances quality of life in the region by promoting and serving the creative assets that can be found throughout - fine art, theater, dance, writing, design, architecture, history, and more. We believe creativity is a building block of our community - and we're here to make sure arts, culture, and creative businesses thrive. We invite you to Discover Monadnock and thrive in its creative community with Arts Alive!
