Hosted by Ginnie Lupi, director of the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts, arts organization leaders from around the state are sharing how they’ve been reopening since lockdown ended and what new ideas they’ve come up with!

This fantastic first conversation features industry experts, sharing their innovative practices.
