Plan Background
Where We've
Come From
As part of its mission, the Arts
Commission created 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 developing annual
priorities, securing human resources
and funding, and developing annual
work plans. Due to an interruption in
the normal cycle, this version is
intended to cover 2022 through
2027.
The Arts Commission held an initial
input session for the revised plan in
2019 with the arts community and
interested citizens, facilitated by
Ginnie Lupi, 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 updated plan envisions possibilities
for growth in the arts and culture sector
and addresses internal challenges to
achieve plan goals. This includes some
redefining of the role of the Arts
Commission, developing policy that
fosters arts and culture development,
long-term financial commitment to
support the goals, and strategic inter-
departmental collaboration by the City.
