Arts, Culture, & Creativity Network

quarterly-round peer exchange for arts, culture, and community leaders in the Monadnock Region

Who It’s For

Arts Alive is here to support the people doing the day-to-day work of sustaining arts and cultural life in the Monadnock Region. Rather than meeting only once each year, we now host gatherings throughout the year so you can stay connected, exchange ideas, build relationships, and learn from one another in real time.

The Network is designed for anyone who is invested in the cultural life of the Monadnock Region.

That includes, but is not limited to: arts and culture leaders, staff, board members, teaching artists, creative entrepreneurs, and artists of all types working in or around the Monadnock Region.

What to Expect

Programming may include:

  • peer networking and facilitated discussion

  • behind-the-scenes tours of regional arts and cultural spaces

  • workshops on fundraising, marketing, governance, accessibility, and operations

  • conversations about shared challenges and opportunities in the sector

  • opportunities to build partnerships across organizations and disciplines

Upcoming sessions

Join us for upcoming meetups and network events throughout the year. Each gathering offers a chance to connect with peers, learn from one another, and deepen relationships across the region’s arts and culture community.

The Shiny Squirrel Club is where good ideas go to multiply.
Part coworking, part brain spill, part networking, part “wait… should we actually do this?”

It’s a space for creative people to think out loud, connect with others, and turn half-formed ideas into something real. Come for the focus, stay for the unexpected collaborations.

Next Meeting:
Friday, August 14th, 10am-12pm
Brewbakers, 58 Emerald Street, Keene, NH

No need to register or RSVP, just show up!

about the summit

The Arts Leadership Network is Arts Alive’s ongoing series of gatherings for nonprofit arts leaders, creative workers, and cultural organizers across the Monadnock Region. Through meetups, workshops, tours, conversations, and our larger annual summit-style gathering, we create space for connection, shared learning, and collaborative problem-solving.

These events are designed to help strengthen the region’s creative ecosystem by bringing people together around the real issues we’re navigating: leadership, fundraising, marketing, accessibility, partnerships, programming, sustainability, and the future of arts and culture in our communities.
