WHY WE CREATED THIS MARKET
Hosted by Arts Build Community, a nonprofit dedicated to creating opportunities for artists while strengthening communities through the arts.
Art has always brought people together.
The Arts Build Community Market was created to give local artists meaningful opportunities to share their work while creating a welcoming place where neighbors can connect, discover handmade art, and support New Hampshire's creative community. Discover something unexpected.
Every market helps strengthen the work of Arts Build Community, supporting public art, youth programming, exhibitions, and creative opportunities throughout our region. We believe some of the best conversations begin around a painting, a handmade mug, or a print fresh off the press.
