Arts Alive

Help Local Artists Bring Their Ideas to Life

Arts Alive's Mini Grants provide direct funding to artists, writers, performers, educators, and creative entrepreneurs across the Monadnock Region. These grants help turn creative ideas into community experiences, professional opportunities, and sustainable artistic careers.

Through a peer-reviewed application process, funding goes directly to local creatives who are expanding access to the arts, developing new work, building creative businesses, and sharing their talents with the community.

Mini Grant recipients have used funding to:

• Create public murals and community art installations
• Produce films, music, and literary projects
• Offer workshops and classes for youth, seniors, and underserved populations
• Purchase equipment and materials needed to grow creative practices
• Launch studios, galleries, exhibitions, and small creative businesses

Every Mini Grant helps strengthen the Monadnock Region's creative ecosystem by investing directly in the people who make our community more vibrant, connected, and culturally rich.

Arts Alive believes the arts make communities stronger. We support artists and creative organizations throughout the Monadnock Region by providing grants, fiscal sponsorship, educational opportunities, and community programming. Every dollar invested in Arts Alive helps local artists create, connect, and share their work, strengthening the cultural fabric of our region.
