Help us create our new Home

Imagine what's possible. From an empty space to a vibrant creative home, these images show the vision we're building together.

Help Build the Studio Behind the Creativity

When people think about supporting the arts, they often picture the finished mural, the exhibition opening, or a child proudly carrying home a painting.

What they don't always see are the tools that make those experiences possible.

Our new Arts Build Community home will provide free youth programs, affordable community classes, exhibitions, artist workshops, and New Hampshire's first community printmaking studio. Today, it's an empty space. Before the doors can open, we need to transform it into a place where creativity can thrive by equipping it with the professional tools artists and students rely on every day.

Every easel, printing press, drying rack, work table, and classroom supply becomes part of thousands of creative experiences over the years to come.

Whether you choose to sponsor a major piece of equipment or purchase a box of supplies, you're helping build a space where creativity, connection, and opportunity can flourish.

Thank you for helping us create a permanent home where artists, students, and families can learn, create, and belong for generations to come.

Want to see the full vision for our new home? Visit www.patronicity.com/abc2026 to learn more about the project and how you can help make it a reality.

Professional equipment builds the studio, but it's the everyday supplies that keep creativity flowing.

Professional equipment is only part of what makes a creative space possible. Every class, workshop, exhibition, and youth program also depends on everyday materials—from inks, paper, brushes, and carving tools to paint, pencils, and cleaning supplies.

If you'd like to support our studio in another way, we've created wish lists filled with the supplies we'll use throughout the year.
