Project partners:
The New Hampshire Department of Education, the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts and the Arts Alliance of Northern New Hampshire are working in partnership on this project, in consultation with Quadrant Arts Education Research and with many New Hampshire arts education leaders and project participants.

The mission of the New Hampshire Department of Education (NHDOE) is to provide educational leadership and services which promote equal educational opportunities and quality practices and programs that enable NH residents to become fully productive members of society.

The New Hampshire State Council on the Arts (NHSCA) was established in 1965 as the official state arts agency with legislation designed "to insure that the role of the arts in the life of our communities will continue to grow and play an ever more significant part in the welfare and educational experience of our citizens.”  

The Arts Alliance of Northern New Hampshire (AANNH)serves as a network for arts information and programming, directly serving North Country communities from Plymouth to Pittsburg, and partnering with statewide and New England-wide organizations on arts education and community development initiatives.

Quadrant Arts Education Research was formed to address the need for more comprehensive data, analysis and tracking systems on arts programs nationwide, and has built one of the country's deepest arts education knowledge bases, complemented by sophisticated analytical capability. The Quadrant methodology for analyzing and presenting data has become a catalyst for systemic improvements in arts education across the country.
