Plan Background
Where Weve
Come From
As part of its mission, the Arts
Commission produced an initial
five-year Arts and Culture Plan that
was accepted by the Board of
Aldermen in November, 2014. This is
an update of that plan designed to
provide a framework for dev2loping
annual priorities, securing human
resources ana funding, and
developing annual work plans. Due
to an interruption in the riormat
cycle, this version is intended ta
caver 2022 through 2027.
The Arts Commission held an initial
input session for the revised plan in
2C19 with ine arts ccinmunity and
interested citizens, facilitated by
Ginnie lpi, the Director of the NH
State Council on the Arts in
additional to regular planning
sessions during late 2020 and 2021.
The Commission’s Arts and Culture
Plan workgroup worked to actively
align the Arts & Culture Plan with
imagine Nashua, a long-range
citywide strategic plan.
Where We're
Going
This new plan inciudes possibilities for
growth in the aris and culture sector
and addresses internal challenges to
achieve plan goals. This includes some
redefining of the role cf the Arts
Commission, developing policy that
fosters arts and culture aevelooment,
long-term financial commitment to
support the goals, and strategic inter-
departmenxal collaboration by the City.
