“Dance in the Schools used CreativeGround as our website for several years. There’s something to be said about the gathering and mapping of who is here doing the work, and this platform has been a huge resource for doing just that.”
“CreativeGround has helped us discover artists to present AND provided an amazing opportunity to apply for funding from NEFA to present them. ”
“I am new to Creative Ground, but like the amount of information you can put on your profile. I am new to the area and have been using it to explore a new network, find creatives to work with and hopefully be connected with resources for creative opportunities and future endeavors!”

We're continuing our journey Around the Ground! Follow us on our next stop in New Hampshire, and explore three artist profiles that are part of the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts' juried artist rosters.
With nearly 11,000 profiles, Massachusetts creatives and organizations make up a third of the total profiles on CreativeGround. Numerous partners – some state, some local - help make sure participation for the Commonwealth continues to be robust and representative. We’ll get you better acquainted with several.
CreativeGround spotlights the creative people and places at work in New England: cultural nonprofits like libraries and theaters, creative businesses like recording studios and design agencies, and artists of all disciplines such as performing arts, visual arts, crafts, literary arts, media, and more create and maintain their own profiles.
Through this centralized network, the creative community empowers itself with knowledge, connection, and resources by harvesting their stories, relationships, and data. When creative communities are supported, all communities thrive.
Do you present performances, readings, and screenings of work by regional artists? Considering applying for NEFA's New England States Touring(NEST) grant to present any of these eligible touring performing artists in New England.
CreativeGround is a platform for artists, creatives, businesses, and organizations who work in all genres. This graphic shows which disciplines are selected the most on profiles right now, with more being added in real time as the creative landscape evolves.
