Learn More About Us
Welcome…
...to the website for the Londonderry Arts Council! We are a chartered town committee, with the following vision and mission:
Vision: Believing that our cultural arts are essential for nurturing lifelong learning, building strong relationships and promoting civic responsibility, we envision a community in which we participate in and support our cultural arts as a valued part of our everyday lives.
Mission: To enrich Londonderry’s quality of life through promoting cultural arts in our community.
Some of the events we are involved in are the summer Concerts On The Common series, Arts Café, In Action and the Nutfield Sessions. We have also worked to renovate and improve the town’s bandstand.
From visual artists to musicians, community theatre, dance studios, writers, film makers and thriving civic organizations, the Londonderry region has an abundance of culture resources to explore. Our goal is to help connect the community with the cultural treasures that exist in our own neighborhoods.

Londonderry Community Standards for Public Art
As a town chartered committee of Londonderry, New Hampshire, the Londonderry Arts Council (LAC) adheres to the following standards and guidelines for all art we promote, publish, display, host, etc. All submissions to LAC programs are subject to review with these guidelines in mind. LAC reserves the right to decline any submissions to any art programs we support, monetarily or otherwise. All art that is accepted must be:
Respectful and inclusive: Artwork must uphold principles of respect, inclusivity, and diversity. It must avoid any content that expresses or promotes discrimination based on race, age, color, sex, national origin, physical or mental disability, sexual orientation, religion or otherwise as may be prohibited by federal and state law.
Enjoyable for all ages: Artwork must be family-friendly and able to be enjoyed by people of all ages.
Safe for public display: Artwork must not pose any safety risks or hazards to the public area where it is installed.
Lawful: Artwork must abide by federal, state, and local historic preservation and environmental laws, regulations, and policies.
Original: Artwork must be original and created by the artist or group who is claiming authorship. Art that is plagiarized, copied, or in imitation of another piece will not be considered. Art that is fully AI-generated will also not be considered, although art that interacts with or explores AI in an original manner may be. If any portion of an art piece is AI-generated, this should be disclosed at the time of submission.
LAC reserves the right to change these standards. Depending on the needs of the public art display or publication, selected artists may also need to sign Artist Agreements, Contracts, Waivers, or other documents as necessary.
