The market: The market is diverse. In all market segments, there are varying levels of
educational attainment, household income, races and ethnicities, and ages. This indicates a
need for programming that ranges from the hands-on to the traditional, with a range of
different price points.
Conclusions
Existing facilities: Nashua is located in a crowded arts market with a number of facilities
that present national touring products. In addition, the are two new facilities planned for one
of Nashua’s neighboring communities, one of which will present touring musical acts. Even
with these facilities, a gap remains for high-quality theatre and dance space. An additional
gap exists for meetings and events.
User demand: There is significant demand for a performance facilities with 350 seats or
fewer, and also for 500 to 700 seats. An additional 691 days of demand exists for classroom
space.
Benefits + impacts: New arts facilities align with many of the goals identified in the Arts
Commission’s Arts and Culture Plan, as well as with goals identified in the City’s 2010
Consolidated Plan.
