Local Arts Groups Feeling Pinch

The New Hampshire State Council on the Arts recently sent out a survey to nearly 200 non-profit cultural organizations in the state.

The purpose was to find out how the arts organizations are faring during these tough economic times.

Of the 30 percent that responded, two-thirds reported a downturn in contributions and nearly two-thirds are receiving fewer grants.

The Council's Director Rebecca Lawrence described the survey's results to NHPR's Mark Bevis.
