Nova Arts

Nova Arts is a nonprofit arts initiative based in downtown Keene, dedicated to building community through adventurous music, contemporary art, conversation, and creative collaboration.

Through year-round concerts, festivals, artist residencies, and community partnerships, we bring nationally and internationally recognized artists into intimate connection with audiences in the Monadnock Region. We believe that meaningful cultural experiences should be available everywhere and to everyone.

A core part of our mission is Access For All. Every Nova Arts event includes a pay-what-you-can ticket option because we believe cost should never be a barrier to participation. This commitment helps ensure that students, families, artists, and community members of all income levels can experience the arts together.

Nova Arts operates under the fiscal sponsorship of Arts Alive, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving the Monadnock Region. All NH Gives donations designated for Nova Arts directly support Nova Arts programming and initiatives.
