Creative Guts

Creative Guts is on a mission to awaken creativity, community, collaboration, and opportunities for gutsy creatives of all ages. We are a nonprofit, a podcast, and a community-builder. Creative Guts envisions a world where everyone feels empowered to express themselves creatively. 

Our organization creates opportunities for people to share their creativity, connect with others, and feel empowered to explore new ideas. Storytelling (through our podcast, zines, art exchanges, and community events) is at the heart of our work. Each project encourages curiosity, collaboration, and confidence, while documenting the vibrant creative culture of New Hampshire and beyond.  

Through this growing body of work, Creative Guts archives and celebrates the creative spirit of New Hampshire, New England, and the world at large.

Your support will help us:

- interview and spotlight more amazing creatives on our podcast

- publish zines featuring youth and adults who are gutsy enough to put themselves out there

- ensure we can provide fee waivers for event tickets and calls for submissions, so that creatives with financial barriers have access to creative opportunities 

Our Values:

1. Everyone is creative.

2. Like any other muscle, creativity is a muscle that needs to be exercised.

3. Creatives deserve to be paid for their work.

4. Art should be accessible to everyone.

5. Sharing your work with the world is inherently gutsy.

6. Cultural equity is vital to the health of the arts and our society. 

7. Art is made by humans; supporting art means supporting artists.

Creative Guts is a volunteer-led organization with no staff. Our dedicated board and amazing volunteers pour their time, talent, and passion into an organization that enriches the local arts and culture landscape. 

Will you help Creative Guts ensure the arts community is supported and empowered?
