The arts transport us


Whether you are escaping into fantasy, grounding yourself in a meditative or expressive practice, or seeking ways to connect with your quarantine-mates, the arts can be your vehicle. Enjoy these treats from our Monadnock Region arts community.

We encourage you to reach out and make a contribution today to your most treasured arts institutions, and support your favorite artists' Patreon accounts or buy their work. Help them weather the storm, if you are able. You could even consider pledging a portion of your $1200 Recovery Rebate to the arts! 

Sincere thanks - from Arts Alive! and the editors of Discover Monadnock

Get inspired by art! Visit a Museum! Viewing art can provide a mental boost, not to mention distraction, in these trying times.

Lots of museums worldwide offer virtual tours so you get the benefit of a guided tour. Here are a few sites to try:

Where Else But, Your Home!

 
We find ourselves in a unique historic moment as our communities, our nation, and the world struggle with the COVID-19 pandemic. At the Monadnock Center for History and Culture, we have collected a rich archive of materials that tell the stories of those who have gone before us. Now is the time to collect the materials that will tell today’s story- the story of our communities during this crisis. We hope you will join us as a citizen-historian and help us to document this time. 

Future local historians will want to know the ways the pandemic impacted our region's health and economy, how our children's education changed, and the ways day-to-day life was altered by social distancing and the stay-at-home order. In partnership with the Monadnock Ledger-Transcript, the Monadnock Center is creating an archive of the COVID-19 crisis that will document the experiences of people in the Monadnock Region.
