Economic Development

Arts and Culture Inventory

In the latest Strafford Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy, SRPC set a goal to "maintain and promote community vibrancy in municipalities across the region, whether this encompasses the enhancement of downtowns, rural areas, cultural assets, or natural resources." In line with this goal, SRPC started an Arts and Culture Inventory. We created a map to introduce residents and visitors to new destinations, groups, and events that are within the following categories: historic, community, retail, events, clubs/groups, art/music education, public art and memorials, and museums/venues/galleries. We need your help to populate it! Check out this easy (and fun!) to use site to list the great art and cultural sites in the Seacoast.
