NH Citizens for the Arts

The arts are important for the education of our children, the vitality of our towns and cities, the health of our economy, and the enjoyment of our citizens. NH Citizens for the Arts invites you to join us as an advocate for appropriate government investment in the arts: to create an atmosphere where the arts can flourish, and to strengthen opportunities for participation in the arts across our state. http://www.nhcfa.org/

HB 561: Bill to ABOLISH the Department of Cultural Resources
Public Hearing: Tuesday, February 5, 2:30 pm, Room 306 LOB

For the 3rd year in a row, Representative Steve Vaillancourt (R, Hillsborough 15) has put forward a bill that would eliminate the Department of Cultural Resources. Each year, we've successfully brought in 100+ citizens to speak to the ways in which the Department of Cultural Resources strengthens the Arts in New Hampshire.

We ask you to come out again. Please attend this Committee Hearing on Tuesday.

We've identified several members of the Business and Arts community to speak against this bill and to speak to the effects of the legislation if passed. We encourage others to attend and sign the "blue clipboard sheets" located in Room 306 in opposition to this bill so that the size and importance of our community's opposition to this Bill is clearly understood by Committee members.

WE ALSO HOPE YOU'LL WRITE A LETTER TO YOUR REPRESENTATIVE ON THE Executive Departments & Administration Committee
